Year 7442, Month 12, Day 28

It's somehow become a strange situation, but, this is a good chance for to appeal herself. She can't afford to show too embarrassing of a scene. Well, in worst case I'm sure it would be fine if she just froze them right away. It seems that in the past sister did it to Baron Logan before after all. No matter how I think about it, if it's just a normal one-on-one practice match then there's no chance of me losing. I need to show off my good side to Zulu and Angela as well.

After getting on my horse I started off alone towards the government office to pay taxes for the luxury tax while grinning to myself.

I need to quickly pay the taxes at the government office then I need to get something adequate in my stomach before heading to the riverside.

Since I found a decent restaurant on my way to pay the taxes I decided to eat there. I left my horse with the stable in the back and then took up a seat along the road. Bacon, bean soup, pork piccata, and white bread. Just as you could expect from the capital with it's huge population, I felt like it was a bit expensive but it's a very satisfying meal. The payment is at the end of the meal as well. In any case, it's my first time eating piccata on Orth. I wonder if they're making pork cutlets somewhere? I'm sure there's no Japanese sauces but I at least have some mayonnaise and if I search a bit I know there's mustard. Ah, if I just had rice with this I'd have nothing more to say but I can't do anything about asking for something that I can't replace.

After asking for my usual bean tea, I staring at the road while satisfied with my stomach full and sipping it. There's a peddler's carriage advancing along the block a bit ahead. There's what appears to be a dwarf man and woman in the carriage box, two human men as escorts, and one more that seems to be quite short is it still a child? There's one more woman. It's a scene you can see anywhere. Hn? That child or woman that seems to be either an escort or peddler..It seems she's got her hair tied up into one large braid but her hair is black.

Oh~ since she had black hair I unintentionally used identify without meaning to..What? I just said red characters didn't I?

She disappeared from my field of vision before I could see clearly so I don't know but I think there was some red characters.

It's a Unique Ability! I can't afford to be sitting here! I need to at least call out to her!

I went to stand up and pulled my bayonet from the chair next to me.

I guess I was in too much of a hurry and my expression had changed, the waiter woman who was just about to bring my bean tea screamed, "hii" and dropped the bean tea. I grabbed my bayonet and

"Bring my horse around."

and yelled that while jumping out of the restaurant. However, from the restaurant they said

"It's an eat and run, eat and run?!!"

I heard that sort of scream. Damn it.

"I'll pay properly afterwards."

Putting aside the bean tea I haven't paid for the meal yet. However, I'll pay ten times more later. And just as I was about to run off to the stable my arm was grabbed. Shit.

"Isn't it Greed-kun? Hey now, you can't eat and run."

Knikniknikni it's the knight commander! Seriously...

"Ah, I'll properly pay later"I don't know how much of a hurry you're in but properly pay right now. If not then I won't be able to overlook this."

..Aaaaa, damn it.

"Yes...Here, the payment. I don't need change. Rather than bring my horse around, I'm in a hurry."

I said that while taking one silver coin from my wallet and handing it to the waiter. Not just the shitty expensive 800 z for the lunch set but I paid over ten times the cost including the bean tea.

"Greed-kun. What's wrong? It's not like you. If you're a noble you should maintain your composure better. Even if you're in that much of a hurry the training place won't run away. There's still some time left as well."

After coming to my senses and looking around and other than Baron Logan, there was Sub-Baron Bittwaz, and several members of the knight group who's names I don't know looking at me with surprised expressions...I guess it's no good...Even if I have them bring my horse around it will take some time. On the roads where there's a lot of pedestrian traffic in the capital if the carriage even takes one turn somewhere I'll lose sight of them in no time at all. Ah, if it was going to come to this I should have just left my horse here until I could come back and pay or paid right away and then run off while leaving my horse behind.

That I would get too excited and lose myself after replaceing someone who seemed to be a reincarnated person..I honestly don't think it's unreasonable though.

I scratch my head and in order to hide my embarrassment,

"I'm sorry for the disturbance. If I think carefully about it there's no need to hurry so much. I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to go and pay the taxes so I couldn't help but panic a bit. I'm sorry for showing you something so unsightly. I'm really very sorry for causing you any trouble."

I said that while lowering my head.

"It's fine. It's fine as long as you pay the luxury tax within a month of the date on the proof of sale. There's nothing to worry about. However, even you get flustered over carrying such a large sum of money I see."

He said that while laughing. It's true I'm currently holding a large amount of money over 100,000,000 Z. It's embarrassing but it seems it would be best to let it slide as that. I lowered my head again and after getting on my horse that was finally brought out, just in case I went to where I saw the carriage just now. However, I guess it's only obvious but I wasn't able to replace the carriage.

I don't know if they're a peddler or an adventurer but in any case it seems to be clear that there's a reincarnated person in Rombertia or patrolling around the area. In the worst case, if we setup a net around this area for a month we might be able to catch them. I'm sure Bel and Ralpha will cooperate with the search at that time.

I tottered along to the government office, paid the taxes, and then went towards the practice place near the riverside.

............

Starting with brother and sister, Zenom and the others were all already at the practice place. After I arrived late and they all started questioning me right away. I said I'd explain it at night but well I guess it can't be helped. Even older brother was surprised even though I already told him I was making deliveries of "Saya" to the royal family. Even if I say I'm making deliveries to the royal family you wouldn't normally that I was direct acquaintances with the royalty of high social standing.

It's not unreasonable. I managed to cover it up by saying that there was an opportunity I had to directly deliver rubber products to them. Since sister knew I had directly met them face to face when I repaired the water bed she didn't replace it all that strange but it seems even then it was unexpected that all of the Queens knew about me. In addition I said that Yulu and Marin would be coming to observe as well.
