No Emotion

 In order to have a peaceful discussion with Ra-chan’s papa, it’s been suddenly decided that we will head to the royal capital.

 The ones heading there are Nord-tousan, Elna-kaasan, and me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 The maids Sara and Mina will accompany us, as for the coachman, it will be Row-san.

 It’s the usual group of people when the Slowlett family goes on a trip.

 The other servants such as Bartolo and Mel are loading the carriage for items that will be necessary for our journey.

 Although they are rushing busily due to the sudden departure, it seems like they are already used to the preparation for a trip so things are proceeding much more smoothly than before.

「Alfried-sama’s preparation is done quickly」

「That boy seems to have not much experience in traveling outside but it felt like he’s strangely used to traveling」

「I know. He always looks so calm, isn’t he?」

「I wonder?」

 Mina, Bartolo, and Sara made those comments to me when I was just standing absentmindedly.

 Well, I don’t have much experience going on a trip with everyone, but I do go on a trip secretly with Teleport.

「As for me, I end up checking up over and over again if I have forgotten anything necessary or if there is anything I am missing」

「And then when you are already in the carriage and set up you suddenly remember and goes 『Ah!』, right?」

「Hey! How does Bartolo-san know about that!? Then, it must be Sara, right!?」

「……senpai, your hands stopped moving. Please load the goods into the carriage quickly」

「Mouー!」

 Mina raised a voice of complaint about it while Bartolo and Sara giggled.

 I have Space magic.

 I can just secretly take items that are missing from my subspace so there’s no need to worry about forgetting something or those situations to happen. It’s probably because of that I seem calm and strangely used to traveling.

 Just because you’re not busy, your work will not progress if you keep talking with Mina and the others too much.

 I talked to Nord-tousan who looked like he had finished his preparation.

「Are Roomba and Gates not going to come with us this time?」

「Yeah, I tried asking them but they refused」

「Why is that?」

 Not only in their physical strength, Roomba and Gates are also known for their social connections.

 They will likely come with us to meet up with their acquaintances if we are about to go to the royal capital like last time, but I wonder if they have some reason they don’t want to come with us?

「They said that they had to protect the village in the lord’s absence 」

 ……protecting Koryatt village? It’s a peaceful village with a low chance of monsters appearing even at the best of times, was there really a need for the two of them to remain behind? Eleonora-neesan is also in the mansion. There was no need for the two of them to remain behind and defend the village so proactively. It was obviously an excessive battle power. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「It’s strange for the two of them to refuse for such an admirable reason」

「Un. It is strange. So when I asked them the real reason, they simply said that they did not want to come since it was too cold」

「……that’s what I thought」

 The last time we went on a trip with them was spring when it was warmer. So they probably don’t want to go on a journey in the harsh and cold winter.

 Besides, once you understand how comfortable Koryatt village is, I can understand their feeling of not wanting to go out and so I can’t blame them for that.

「Elna-sama, what about the dress for a party?」

「There’s no need. We are going to visit the Misfid house this time and we are going to stay at my parents’ house」

「But, would the other nobles invite you to a party if you go to the royal capital?」

 As expected from the capable maid.

 Suggesting a preparation for an unforeseen situation to the master.

「That’s why I told you. If you say that ‘I don’t have a dress prepared so I will have to decline’, then you will be able to gracefully turn down their invitation」

 I was really impressed by Elna-kaasan’s reply.

「Elna-kaasan! So wise!」

「Right? And as expected, the other party who invited us will also have no enthusiasm to prepare a dress for us if we do that. I’m good at refusing parties without hurting their reputation, you know」

「That’s what you call the manner of a noble, right 」

 Sure enough, Elna-kaasan is a genius.

 I never thought of such a method to tactfully avoid a party. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 I mean, she wouldn’t plan for a ‘forgot a dress to a party’ to a social gathering without a good reason.

 Well, last time it was prevented by Nord-tousan though.

「I have prepared a formal attire and shoes just in case, but I will also leave it behind」

「Yes, you can do so」

 With Elna-kaasan’s permission, I left the unnecessary luggage I had loaded into the carriage to Barotlo.

 Nord-tousan presses the side of his temple with his fingers and looks like he has a headache but I ignore him.

 In the end, the reason we are going to the royal capital is to have a discussion with the Misfid house.

 We have nothing else scheduled aside from that.

 And after unloading some of the unnecessary items from the carriage, we are all ready to depart.

 Not only there are people who help us in front of the entrance like Bartolo and Mel, there were also Eleonora-neesan and Sylvio-niisan who came out to see us off.

 Sylvio-niisan is wearing quite a thick jacket while Eleonora-neesan is still in her loungewear.

 Don’t you feel cold? Nah, it’s Eleonora-neesan we’re talking about so she probably doesn’t feel cold.

「Give me back the Game of Life」

「Eeh? No way. Everyone in the mansion will play with it since it’s winter」

 Apparently, such a schedule has already been set. Mina and Bartolo - who were standing nearby - looked grim upon hearing that.

「I need the actual thing to explain it to Ra-chan’s papa. In exchange for that, you can use the even more detailed Game of Life in my drawer」

「You should have said that sooner」

 When I explained it like that, Eleonora-neesan quickly returned to the living room and brought the Game of Life to me. It’s bulky so I want to store it inside my subspace, but I have no choice but to have Mina wrap it up.

 I asked Mina to store it in a wooden box so it wouldn’t be disordered and messy.

 As I watched her do that, Eleonora-neesan lightly pulled on my sleeve.

「What?」

 As I turned toward her, Eleonora-neesan took my hand and gave me something.

 Immediately checking my palm, there were three gold coins placed there. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Yay! I got pocket money!」

 She was so thoughtful so that her little brother would be able to enjoy his time without worries in the royal capital! Or so I thought, but she chopped my arm *beshi*.

「It’s not. I will give you some of my pocket money but you have to buy the necessary spices to make curry」

 Eleonora-neesan threw out her chest as she said that.

 What the. So it’s for an errand? I’m the stupid one for expecting kindness from her. I deeply sigh in spite of myself.

「Why?」

「……there’s no way this much will be enough」

「Stop lying. It’s three gold coins, you know?」

「Err, you need at least one platinum coin to gather the necessary spices for curry」

「One platinum coin......!?」

 I can’t even buy enough of one type of spice with this.

「Why are you reacting as if this is the first time you’ve heard of it? I’ve explained before that spices from Lazur cost a lot of money, didn’t I」

「I haven’t heard that explanation」

 Just when I was thinking that she was feigning ignorance stubbornly, Sylvio-niisan pulled my sleeve.

「……Al. The day you explained it was the day of the Gravity incident, you know」

 Haa, come to think of it, she was convinced she was not feeling well at that time and was not in the living room when I explained it. Guess it can’t be helped that she hadn’t heard I’ve explained it already.

「Cough……So I said, it won’t be enough if it’s just three gold coins. If you really want it then you have to give me around 20 gold coins」

「There’s no way I have that much money, right?」

「Eh, why so!? What do you usually spend your money on?」

 Even though she’s six years older than me, how come she’s strapped for cash unlike me?

「Ahaha, that’s because we don’t earn our own money like Al」

 That’s true I guess. I’m earning money by turning things I made like spaghetti, reversi, and spinning tops into a product and having Tori sell them.

 So I guess it’s natural for me to have more money compared to the two of them.

 I ended up unconsciously assuming that they had more money than me because they were older.

 And even though Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan have the money, it looks like they don’t distribute it unnecessarily between the two of them.

「Hm? Putting Sylvio-niisan aside, Eleonora-neesan was doing monster subjugations in the village right, so she must have some money saved up, right?」

「Even if you have the monster materials, they won’t make that much money here」

 Guess that’s true too. The main form of trade in Koryatt village is bartering after all.

 Although it has been quite lively recently, it seems like expensive monster materials are not selling. It does sell but it has no value here. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「The rest of the spending will just disappear in food and weapons or armor」

「Unnecessary remarks are Al’s trademark」

 Eleonora-neesan lightly pokes Sylvio-niisan as he gives an additional explanation.

 I wish they didn’t make such a weird saying. I mean, I’m afraid it will spread.

「It’s really not enough, but I’ll take it」

「Just give it back」

「It’s fine, but there’s no point in coming back and not making curry, right?」

 When I threatened her like that, Eleonora-neesan let out a groan  「Ughh」 and fell silent.

 It’s not enough but having a lot of money wouldn’t hurt.

「Can I also ask for a favor? I want new and interesting-looking books from the royal capital」

 Saying that, Sylvio-niisan handed me eight gold coins.

「Hey! Why does Sylvio have so much money!?」

「That is because Sylvio helps with my work. Of course, he will have more pocket money」

 Although it seemed like he was not making any money, it looked like Sylvio-niisan was also increasing his money as much as he could. And unlike a certain older sister, he was earning his money steadily.

「I will also give Eleonora more pocket money if you help, you know?」

「Eh, no. I guess I’m fine……」

 Nord-tousan suggests with a bright smile but Eleonora-neesan takes a step back with a strained face.

 The lord’s work involves things like calculating the tax yield and writing documents which are things Eleonora-neesan not good at. So even if she can get more money, she probably wouldn’t be able to endure it.

「I’m done loading the Game of Life!」

「Now that we are ready, let us depart」

 Hearing Mina, Nord-tousan declared so and we boarded the carriage.

 As the door closed, Row-san cracked the whip and the carriage slowly began to move.

 Bartolo, Eleonora-neesan, Sylvio-niisan, and Mel are standing at the entrance seeing us off while waving at us.

「Take care! Especially Mina and you boy!」

「Don’t forget the souvenirsー!」

「Take care and don’t catch a cold!」

 My neesan is the only one worried about souvenirs, but that doesn’t change the fact that she went out in the cold to see us off. Anyway, I stuck my head off from the window and waved.

 Mina also stuck her head out and waved at them like me.

 As the carriage moved on its way and everyone could no longer be seen, I quickly closed the window and retreated inside.

 However, Mina still has her window opened and is staring at the mansion’s direction.

「「Mina, quickly closes the window. It’s cold!」」

「Ah, yes. I’m sorry」

 Both I and Elna-kaasan said the same thing at the same time.

 And then Mina dejectedly closes the window and sits back down.

 There’s no feeling of going on a trip, but it’s cold anyway so it can’t be helped. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
