The Head Of The Misfid House

 Being shaken inside the Misfid house’s carriage, we are all heading toward the royal capital’s northern district. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Me, Nord-tousan, Elna-kaasan, Mina, Sara, and Loretta are sitting inside the carriage.

 Even with all these people inside the carriage, it’s still wide enough, the carriage of a Duke family is really different.

 I can see our Slowlett house’s carriage we had been riding until earlier following behind us and it has been decided that the people of the Misfid house will take care of it.

 We thought of resting at the inn first and relaxing for several days before visiting their place, but we couldn’t keep up with the pace of how things happened.

 I never imagined that we would end up heading toward the Misfid house mansion as soon after we arrived at the royal capital.

「I have been curious about it since, but how did you know we have arrived at the royal capital?」

 As I was staring at the royal capital’s scenery with a distant look, Nord-tousan asked Loretta.

 Come to think of it, that’s true. We just arrived at the royal capital earlier. How come they could immediately locate our specific location so quickly? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Since the content of Schugel-sama’s letter was like that, we expected everyone in the Slowlett family to meet us and discuss it so.....」

「Even so, it is still hard to match the timing of our arrival, right?」

 Even if they expected our arrival they still won’t know when. Even for a great house like the Misfid house, standing watch at the gates every day would be difficult, right?

「We have deployed family-related magicians at each gate - also to help with melting the snow - to have a grasp of when everyone from Slowlett house arrives 」

「I, is that so」

 Nord-tousan’s face slightly twitched after hearing what Loretta said with a bright smile on her face.

 Aah, I see. So they noticed us by arranging people so they can monitor each gate daily in connection with work.

 It was easy to say, but the power and influence of a Duke’s house to go to such lengths just in order to quickly welcome us is terrifying.

 It seems like the fact that we were going straight to the Misfid house’s mansion when we arrived at the royal capital was a settled matter.

 As we were rocked inside the carriage while chatting with each other, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

 That said, even when I look outside I still can’t see the mansion.

 All I could see were just the fence and gate surrounding the grounds.

 Ahead of us is the road continuing to the back and there are trees that seem like they have been planted intentionally.

 Apparently, we just entered the mansion’s grounds.

 Having a small forest-like area on your mansion grounds, just how much money do they have?

 It’ll be nothing if it’s the countryside, but this place is the royal capital the northern district where every plot of land is especially expensive.

 After passing through the small forest, we came to a wide verdant courtyard, and in the middle was a large water fountain. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 At the back of that, I can see a huge mansion with white walls and a deep blue roof.

「Uwawaー, what a beautiful garden and mansionー」

 It’s no wonder for Mina to exclaim in wonder.

 The scale of the Misfid house’s mansion and the Slowlett house’s mansion was huge.

 You can say that they truly possess the dignity befitting the Duke's house that has supported the Kingdom since its founding.

 After the carriage eventually stopped, the coachman opened the door.

 As we got off the carriage in order, there are already butlers and maids lined up bowing at us at the entrance.

 I walked through the entrance, overwhelmed by their coordinated movements.

「Alー!」

 Then, Ra-chan suddenly came running toward me.

 I can just avoid her, but if I do that then Ra-chan might fall down. There’s no choice but to stop her with my body.

「Waa! Ra-chan!」

「Ahaha! It’s Alー! Al is in my houseー!」

 Maybe she was just so happy to meet me as Ra-chan had a big smile on her face.

 As I was standing there wondering what to do, a woman with the same platinum blonde hair as Ra-chan appeared. She’s definitely Ra-chan’s mother.

「Ranna! You are acting improperly in front of the guests. Stop it」

「……yesーs」

 Being rebuked, Ra-chan withdrew while looking disappointed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Even though he has such a beautiful wife, Schugel-san is still having an affair?

 No, that’s unconfirmed info. Let’s not make any strange, unjust suspicion.

「My daughter was very rude. It seems like she was so happy to be able to meet Alfried-sama that she can not contain her excitement」

「No, please do not worry about it」

 I wonder what she thinks when she sees her precious daughter clinging to me?

 I can’t tell what kind of emotions she felt behind those gentle eyes of hers.

 Let’s just amiably smile at her for now.

「How do you do, I am Schugel’s wife Floria Misfid (フローリア＝ミスフィード). Thank you for coming from such a distant place」

「Thank you very much for having us Floria-sama. My name is Nord Slowlett」

「Schugel is in the parlor in the back, let us go over there. Ranna, please wait in your room」

「Ehー? Can’t I come too?」

「It is an adult discussion so no」

 We can’t let the young Ra-chan hear about the details of the incident this time.

 Judging from her usual innocent behavior, she probably knows nothing about this time’s incident.

 The fact that it was all a misunderstanding that she got pregnant with a child. Ra-chan shouldn’t hear about the aftermath of such a terrible incident.

 Given my age, I should also wait for the discussion to finish, but I guess it can’t be helped that I also have to go since I’m related to this incident.

 And so Ra-chan will wait in her own room, while we head toward the parlor being guided by Floria.

 There are numerous paintings, vases, and other furnishings in the hallway. And they also suit the mansion’s status and blend well with the atmosphere.

 When I looked up, there was a small chandelier hanging down from the ceiling, but it wasn’t a candlelight chandelier but a magic light chandelier.

 I guess it’s like a chandelier-type magic tool. Instead of consuming candles, it consumes mana and since it doesn’t use fire, it will also not cause fire to break out. There seem to be a lot of advantages compared to the usual chandelier, but I’m curious about how much mana it will need to keep running.

 Lately, it has been difficult to consume my mana on a daily basis since my mana amount has increased. It might be a good idea to purchase these kinds of magic tools that consume a lot of mana in order to consume my mana.

 As I was walking while thinking about such things, it seemed like we had arrived at the parlor.

 When Loretta opened the door and entered the parlor, I felt like the room was filled with warm air.

 There is what appeared to be a magic tool in the fireplace and there were fireballs floating there the whole time. 

 All the lights that illuminate the room are from magic lamps. As expected from the Duke’s house with magic as their occupation, there are a lot of things related to magic in their mansion.

 As I was looking around at the magic tools with great interest, Elna-kaasan poked me on the shoulder.

 It probably means ‘Stop looking all around and focus on the people in the room’.

 When I hastily averted my gaze from those magic tools, I saw a man with silver hair and glasses sitting on the sofa. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 His bangs are gently waved and he has a neatly trimmed beard around his mouth.

 He is wearing a dark brown vest and a black coat.

 He has a very calm look, with a truly befitting appearance as the head of a Duke’s house.

 However, when you think of the fact that this person was the one who sent that crazy letter, I think you can’t depend on one’s first impression.

 I feel like Schugel is glaring at me.

 ……the misunderstanding was cleared up properly, right?

 The sharp glare he sent at me was just a moment as Schugel then flashed a bright smile when we approached him.

 That kind of transformation is actually a little scary.

「I am the present head of the Misfid house, Schugel Misfid. But first, please have a seat」

「Excuse us then」

 At Schugel’s offer, Nord-tousan, Elna-kaasan, and I sat down on the sofa.

 Floria sat down next to Schugel while the maids like Mina and the others were standing by alongside the wall.

「Please forgive me!」

 After each of us had introduced ourselves, Schugel suddenly bowed.

「I was jumping to a hasty conclusion and have caused a great deal of trouble for the Slowlett house. Right after I sent the letter, I heard the details of what actually happened from the others including Loretta, and realized that it was a misunderstanding. Especially for the terrible letter I sent to Alfried-dono. I am truly sorry about that」

 It was a sudden apology from Schugel.

 As his words were directed at me, everyone’s gaze felt piercing.

「I’m glad that it seems like the misunderstanding has been cleared up. I accept the apology」

 The purpose of this time trip is for an amicable settlement of the incident. So it would be the right to accept the apology properly. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 I saw Floria - sitting next to Schugel - looking relieved.

「Mou, it is all because you can not see anything around you anymore when it comes to Ranna」

「I am ashamed. My feelings towards my daughter exploded and I ended up with such terrible words. But despite all that, Alfried-dono still forgave me, you are truly generous」

「No, it was all due to a minor misunderstanding. Even I have also been treated with love by my parents so I think I can somewhat understand a father’s feelings for his child」

 Both Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan simultaneously made complicated expressions upon hearing what I said.

 He can speak so fluently like that. Is what they probably thought.

「Alfried-dono is very mature for his age, I see. It is no wonder Ranna is so attached to you」

「No, I am still but a child」

 Since I didn’t know the correct response to Floria’s remark, I just avoided the topic with a smile.

「I would really like to have a long talk with everyone from the Slowlett house at length, but I understand that everyone has just arrived at the royal capital, so let us leave it at this for today」

「Aah, that is right. However, we can not let everyone return and stay at the inn after we have caused such trouble. As an apology, please allow us to host everyone at our mansion」

 ……no, rather than staying in the Duke’s mansion, it would be fine for us to spend our time at the high-class inn since we are going to be able to rest more comfortably. How nice would it be if we could turn down their invitation?

「Thank you very much. Then, please allow us to take up your kind offer」

 Schugel nodded in satisfaction at Nord-tousan’s answer. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
