Taking A Carriage To Koryatt Village

「Ah, Al! Where did you go?」


When I returned to the living room after the duel with Bram, Ra-chan ran up to me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com


「I went for a walk with the guys for a bit. Right, Eric?」

「Yeah」

「Ehh, I also wanted to go for a walkー」


When Eric said that in agreement while nodding, Ra-chan said that with a slightly disappointed expression. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com


「Sorry, sorry, I will invite you for a walk next time」

「Un, it’s a promise, okay?」


Ra-chan happily said that to me after we exchanged a promise to walk next time.

Aah, what a truly cute creature she is. At this rate, I wonder if she will become part of our family?

I sit on a sofa and take a break while thinking something like that.

Then, Eleonora-neesan - who is sitting opposite of me - stares piercingly at me.


「What is it?」

「You, your face looks so creepy. So you like that kind of small kid?」


Putting it that way will make me look like Earl Yurina who likes little girls and I’m going to be misunderstood, please stop saying it like that.


「It’s not like that. It’s because Ra-chan has something no one around me has. So I unintentionally, want to dote on her」

「And what is that ‘something no one around me has’ mean?」


If I were to say ‘the beauty of her heart’ then I would make others my enemies, not only Eleonora-neesan.


「Ah, Sara. I’d like a cup of tea」

「Understood」


I asked Sara to make some tea for me and decided to listen to Eleonora-neesan’s question.


「Ara, he’s evading the question, isn't he?」

「……evading the question」

「He’s evading the question」


I mean, it’s scary since there are also Alicia, Luna-san, and Elna-kaasan watching there instead of just Eleonora-neesan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

See, they listened to our conversation even if they didn’t join in our conversation and they tried to follow up on me with questions.

I think it will be nice to have a quiet and innocent child, like Ra-chan.


「Sylvio-dono, do you have a moment?」

「What is the matter, Bram-sama?」


The women’s group was urging me on like that, but my attention shifted due to the unusual, rare situation of Bram starting to talk to Sylvio-niisan.

I was involved with Bram since Eleonora-neesan dragged me into her circumstance, but this is the first time Bram has tried to talk to Sylvio-niisan.

Apparently, Bram is going to grant my small wish.


「Next time, have a duel with me」

「Eh, eehhh? Why do you want to have a duel with me?」


Even the usually calm Sylvio-niisan will unconsciously be perplexed if there is a sudden challenge of a duel.


「If I can not win against you then I will not be able to have a rematch with Alfried」

「A rematch? Eh, please wait a minute」


I don’t know how, but it looks like Sylvio-niisan understands I was involved in his request, so he forcibly takes me someplace a bit away in front of Bram.

Immediately after that, we ask me in a whisper in the corner of the living room,


「Hey, Al. The duel that Bram-sama is talking about, it’s about the engagement with Eleonora-neesan, right? Didn’t Al became the substitu――I mean, that was supposed to be taken care of by Eleonora-neesan herself, right?」


Who is the substitute, that’s awful that even Sylvio-niisan thinks like that.


「Un, but Bram won’t listen and he said that he will challenge Eleonora-neesan after he beat me」

「So why did he want to have a duel with me now?」


I was unwilling to have a duel with Bram, but that became my responsibility. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

And yet, that’s precisely why Sylvio-niisan was wondering about it since he was challenged to a duel.


「Using the winner’s privilege, I told him that he has to defeat Sylvio-niisan first if he wants to challenge me again」


As for why it became like that, it’s because Bram didn’t want to give up even though I won the duel. And so, I had been thinking about it for a while, and launched the strategy of ‘If you want to challenge me, you have to defeat Sylvio-niisan first’.

That was my small wish to Bram. And Bram also agreed to that request even while having a sullen look on his face.


「Why did you involve me in that!?」

「Brothers should share each other's suffering. So Sylvio-niisan should also taste my suffe――I mean, I want you to carry it together with me」

「That’s just pushing the problem to me, is it not?」

「It’s fine. There’s no way that Sylvio-niisan will lose!」


With his high defensive strength, Sylvio-niisan will be able to stave off Bram’s attack. I don’t know whether he can win or not since I don’t know his real ability, but he shouldn’t lose.


「Eeh? Then, I feel like he will keep on challenging me.....」

「At that time you can just say that Bram can challenge you after he won against someone else just like I did」


From Eleonora-neesan to me. From me to Sylvio-niisan. Going like that continuously handing over the responsibility and keeping Bram away from us.

If it’s someone with high pride like Bram, he should continue to fulfill the winner’s small wish.

If Sylvio-niisan wins, he can just pass it to Roomba or members of the Silver Wind party.

When I passionately explained everything to him, Sylvio-niisan wryly smiled.


「……Al, you’re thinking something terrible」

「It’s Bram’s fault for unreasonably challenging me to a duel」


Please don’t drag me into that even though it was all for the sake of wanting to be engaged to Eleonora-neesan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

We will only get exhausted if we keep on worrying over the annoying Bram.


「Hey, Al! Shall we go to the festival?」


Just when I was engrossed in the conversation with Sylvio-niisan, Ra-chan came over and pulled my sleeve.

Nice timing, Ra-chan.


「That’s right. The Harvest Festival will soon start, please guide everyone around the village」


Sylvio-niisan still seemed unconvinced, but Nord-tousan told me to guide everyone so I had to guide them.


「Okay then, let’s go to the village. I will guide everyone」

「Un!」


And so we all stand up to head toward the village.

I guess the adults are going to the village a little later, they don’t seem to be any particular sign of them getting up from the sofa.


「Everyone will be able to be together if we use my carriage」

「Alicia’s carriage is wide!」


As we were leaving the mansion, Alicia and Ra-chan said those as if it was the natural thing to do.


「Eh? Carriage?」

「Ara? Is there something wrong with going to the village by carriage? Are the roads being regulated during the festival?」

「No, it’s not like that. I was always walking to the village, so I was just a bit surprised」


It takes around 15 minutes to walk on the straight road to Koryatt village. I unintentionally let out a surprised sound since I never thought of going to the village with a carriage, since I’ve been using Teleport or just walked there leisurely.


「I am not wearing clothes to walk long distances, and Ra-chan is also here」


That’s a good point. As expected, it will be rude to let the young ladies of the Dukes' house to walk to the village. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Besides, Ra-chan is also here, so it’s better to not burden her while on the way there.

And thus, we decide to board the carriage prepared by the Ringrande house’s maid.

The carriage of the Ringrande house is very large and also elaborately decorated.

Painted with red and gold, it gives the impression of not only being a carriage of a noble but also awe-inspiring.

But still, a single carriage wouldn’t be able to fit around ten people, so they decided to separate into the connected carriages.

Me, Ra-chan, Eric, Alicia, Loretta-san got on the first carriage, then Eleonora-neesan, Luna-san, Sylvio-niisan, and Bram rode on the second one.

Still, before we knew it, Alicia’s maid - Lim-san - already sat on the coachman's seat.

I don't think that’s a place where a maid should sit, but she might also serve as something like a guard or something. Judging from Lim-san’s movement, that’s not the movement of a mere maid.


「Lim, let’s go」

「Yes」


After everyone gets on the carriage safely, Lim-san - who is in the coachman’s seat - cracks the whip.

Immediately after, the two horses pulling the carriages slowly started to walk.

The carriage of Ringrande’s house advances through the courtyard and leaves the mansion.

In front of the mansion’s gate, Alicia’s maids, Ra-chan’s maids, and Bram’s butler lowered their heads politely as they saw us off.

I feel like this is the first time I’ve been seen off by such a large number of people since the ryokan in Kagura.

If it were the high-class inn, it wouldn’t give me an uncomfortable feeling, but now that it happens in my own house it feels embarrassing. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
