 In the middle of summer, Leolde was working hard  on a car that he had yet to finish.

 It was hot outside, and the work was hard. Even so, they  continue to pursue their dream without giving up.

"Not good enough again. ......"

 However, it was not so easy. During a trial run, the sound of a broken part echoes through the air, and the prototype stops working.

 The workers gathered to clean up the damaged parts, discuss improvements, and install new ones.

 Then the trial run is resumed. Repeating this over and over again was the only way to complete the project.

 Leolde watched for a while, but had other things to do, so he left the factory.

 He returned to the  mansion and met up with the civil servants to work on the paperwork.  He spent the next few hours doing paperwork.

 Just when it seemed that the paperwork was finally finished, one of the documents happened to fall down. Leolde  picks it up, but when he sees the contents of the document, he stops moving.

"Lord Leolde. How can I help you?"

 One of the civil servants, worried about Leolde who suddenly stopped moving, calls out to him. Leolde starts to move at the sound of the voice.

"No, there was a matter that was bothering me.

It was a request to capture someone who was destroying the fields.

 It says what it is, but  hee don't know if it's human. At any rate, all  he  know is that the field is being ravaged.

"I'd rather catch the culprit  myself."

"Don't say that. It doesn't matter if the killer is human or monster, it's horrible no matter what . In fact, it's probably more frightening for the humans."

"But that case is in a small village in Ze'at. That means that the target is in the village. There is no need to send a knight.

"Hmm, ......, then I'll go."

Huh? "

 The civil servants couldn't help but raise their voices in unison at Leolde's comment.

"What's so surprising?"

"No, no, no, what are you talking about! It's not something that Lord Leolde should do!"

"But you said earlier that you didn't need to send a knight."

"That's what I  said, but that doesn't mean Lord Leolde has to go!

"What? But he's the lord. Isn't it all right?'

"No, sir! What are you going to do about your work?

". I'll leave the car to you guys. Marco will be fine with the car and I'm sure  you can manage the estate without me.

"So I don't understand why the lord himself would go!

 The civil servant is right. There are certainly some uncertainties in this matter, but it is a problem that can be solved by dispatching a knight. If that is the case, there is no need for Leolde, the lord, to go.

"....... It's been a while since I've done any physical exercise.

"I'm sure you've been trained out with Gilbert and Barbaroto!

"You  training with Gilbert and Barbaroto all the time!"

"Are you an idiot?"

"What?  How dare you call the Lord an idiot! You're  crazy ?!

"You know what, Lord Leolde? Please think carefully. Think about your position.""

 It is hard for Leolde to hear that. At present, Leolde is in the position of a count, but more importantly, he is being targeted by many countries  because of reviving transfer magic.

 It's not Leoldee, but his family members who have already been affected  and he can't be allowed to act on his own.

"But it's in Ze'at. It's my territory, you know."

"I'm sure Gilbert will die of exhaustion. ......?"

 The fact that Ze'at has not fallen into the clutches of the Empire or the Holy Church is due to Gilbert's hard work. He is using his abilities as a former assassin to secretly deal with people from the Empire and Holy See who have infiltrated Ze'at.

 Of course, Leolde  is not the only one who knows about this fact. All the civil servants and servants who are close to Leolde  know this fact.

 However, Gilbert is not a jack-of-all-trades either, so he can't cover the whole of Ze'at. Gilbert can only cover the central city of Ze'at, near Leolde

"Should I take Gil as my escort?"

"I don't think that's the good idea . ......"

"Then I have no choice. Let's take Char!

"What, uh, ...... then ......?""

 

The civil servants looked at each other. They were wondering if it would be safe to take Charlotte along .

 Charlotte is the strongest  mage in the world, as everyone knows. It is true that she would be the best ally  that could ever  be. But that's only if Charlotte does her job properly.

 The civil servants have also heard about Charlotte. If it involves the kingdom , Charlotte will not help and will not act. But if Leolde's life is in danger,  she  will help , but if not, I don't know what will happen.

 It's a great way to get to know the people in your area.

 The civil servants wondered if they could trust such a person.

"If lady  Charlotte- is with you, ......."

 The civil servants are a little uneasy, but have come to the conclusion that if Charlotte is with him, there will be no problem.

"Oh. Charl? Then I'll go get her."

"But you can't do that if  lay Charlotte says she won't go!"

"Hmm. I understand."

(I wonder if he really understands. ......?)

 As Leolde walked out of the room, he gave a thumbs-up to the civil servants without looking back. The civil servants, seeing this, could not help but feel uneasy.
