Seeing the three of them pointing at me one after another, I retreated in confusion. What was going on? It was so terrifying. Were these three people too excited? Their emotions were too high!？The duke and his daughter were also shocked and took a few steps back. Look at what you've done.
[Mr. Nan Ye, aren't you allowed to use all non-elemental spells?!]」
[Ah?…] Oh oh oh-! So that's what it means!"
[This is…what's going on? Don't tell me you..."
[Nanye? Do you have a way to cure Mother?」The Duke had a look of disbelief on his face, while Sul held onto my arm tightly and refused to let go.
"To be honest, I've never used such magic before. But it might be possible... Could you two please tell me in detail the name and effect of the spell?」
" Madam Irene, nice to meet you. My name is Yan Yi Nan Ye."
[Nice to meet you. Hubby, who is this?"
"Ah, he's the person Su met. Su has received a lot of care from him... After he heard about you, he wanted to help you examine your eyes.」
I quietly covered Madam Irene's eyes with my hand. After focusing, I tried to activate the magic I had just learned. Please, you must succeed.
[Resurrection.]
[…I can see…I can see! Hubby! I've regained my vision!" Large teardrops fell from Lady Irene's eyes.
[Irene…!]
[Mother]
The three of them hugged each other and sobbed. Irene smiled with tears in her eyes as she stared at her daughter and husband who had been separated for five years. She stared at her beloved daughter and husband with her teary eyes, refusing to look away. Mr. Rem, who was guarding the three of them at the side, also raised his head with tears on his face.
[That's great...]
[That's great ~]
Even you guys are crying! Eh? In this way, wouldn't I look very cold-blooded without tears? I'm still very touched. But I was worried that the spell would fail, so I was under a lot of pressure. Compared to being touched, a sense of relief came first…Forget it, it's alright. Our warm gazes were fixed on the child who was crying with joy.
"We are truly grateful for the great care we have received from all of you. Not only his daughter, but even his wife…Thank you.」We sat in the reception room and the duke bowed deeply to us. I'm not good at accepting thanks. How many times did this person bow to me to thank me? Sue was in Lady Irene's bedroom. We were brought into this room and sat in a noble-looking chair, face to face with the duke. "You really don't have to care. Su was safe and sound, and Madam had also recovered. Wasn't that good?」
[No, you can't do that. I want to thank you all. Rem, bring that thing over."
[Yes, sir.]
Mr. Rem brought over a silver tray with all kinds of items on it.
[First of all, this. This is to thank you for saving my daughter from the attackers and protecting her all the way back. I hope you can accept it.」
「「「！？」」」
[Elsa, let me ask you, what is a platinum coin?」
"... A currency that is more expensive than gold coins... One is equal to ten gold coins..."
" Ten!?"
[No, this amount is too high! I can't accept it!"
I finally realized how serious this matter was, so I hurriedly declined. No matter what, I can't handle this huge sum of money!
"Don't say that. I hope everyone can accept it. You will need this money as an adventurer, so just treat it as capital.」
[I see...]
This money could indeed help. Although I don't want to admit it, some problems still need to be solved with money. Moreover, even if I insist on not accepting it, based on the Duke's personality, he will definitely not agree.
[This is for you too.]
The duke arranged the four medals on the table. The medal was about five centimeters in diameter, and there was a embossed in the center. It depicted a shield with two lions facing each other in the middle. Eh, this totem is…
"This is the Duke's family medal. You can rely on it to pass through the checkpoint directly, or use the facilities that are limited to nobles. If anything happens, this medal represents that the Duke's family is behind you. It can be used to prove your identity.」This seemed to be a medal given to the supplier appointed by the Duke's family. Each medal has our names and a word engraved on it. It was said that all medals were different, and the purpose was to prevent them from being misused after they were lost. The medal I received was engraved with the words "Peace", Else with "Passion", Linz with "Universal Love", and Musashi with "Honesty". "Stable" ah…Forget it, stable was the most important thing. This thing might really be very convenient. When he came to see Su again in the future, he would definitely come in handy. If he was treated as a suspicious person, it would be very troublesome to stay at the checkpoint. Speaking of which, I just need to use the Teleportation Gate spell and come directly to the mansion. I request the Duke to divide the platinum coins into four equal portions, each portion containing ten pieces. However, this one was equivalent to ten gold coins, which was one million yen…It would be no joke if he lost it. Because it would be a little scary to just carry such a huge sum of money with us, we each kept a Platinum Coin with us, and the Duke would help us deposit the rest in the guild. In this way, no matter which town or city the guild was in, they could withdraw it, just like a bank. Anyway, it's about time for us to leave. After walking to the entrance, Sue and Lady Irene came to say goodbye. [If you want to play again! Definitely come!" After the Duke's family warmly sent us off, we sat in the carriage and headed directly to the person Mr. Sanako wanted to pass the letter to-Viscount Sodrick's residence. [Eh? The person you want to pass the letter to is Viscount Sodrake?」Strange, haven't we explained this to Musashi? I sat in the rocking carriage and looked at Musashi's surprised expression in disbelief. [You know him?] "Don't talk about whether I know him or not…I've mentioned to you before that there is a person who takes good care of my father. That person is the viscount.」So that was what happened. The world was really small. Else drove the carriage down the luxurious street, and we followed the carriage. The carriage followed the route that the duke had told them and soon arrived at Viscount Sodrek's house. Perhaps he shouldn't say that, but because he had just seen the Duke's house, the Viscount's house looked very small and exquisite. Even if I say so, the viscount's mansion is indeed a luxurious mansion. Rather than describing the house as old, it was better to say that it was filled with an ancient style. In addition to this place, the nobles who lived in the capital also seemed to have their own mansions in their own territories. Could this be their villa? We told the guard Mr. Sanako's name and the whole story, asking him to let us meet the viscount. After a while, he let us into the mansion. A person who seemed to be a deacon led us into the reception room. Perhaps he shouldn't say that, but compared to the Duke's room…Yes, yes, yes. While waiting for the viscount in the reception room, such a rude thought appeared in my mind. Not long after, a red-haired burly man walked into the room. This person…looked very strong. Even through his clothes, one could tell that he had trained his physique. His eyes were also very sharp, like an eagle aiming at its prey.
" I am Karrosa Galen Sodrek. Are you the messengers of Sanako?"
[Yes. He entrusted us to forward this letter to you, and also instructed us to ask for a reply from you.」
I handed over the letter that Mr. Sanako gave us. After the viscount received it, he used a knife to cut open the wax seal and took out the letter inside.
"Give me a moment. I'll write a reply.」
The viscount left the room after saying this. This time, the maid came in and served us tea. Compared to the Duke's house, this cup of tea was a little…No, no, this would be too rude to the Viscount. I shouldn't have compared this place to the duke's house in the first place.
[Sorry to keep you waiting.]
The viscount returned with the letters.
[Give this to Sanako, please.] Also…"
The viscount passed the letter to me while shifting his gaze to Musashi.
" I've been quite curious since the beginning. The girl sitting there, am I…No, I've never seen you before. But…what is your name?"
Seeing the viscount's head tilted and his brain racking, Musashi looked straight at him and reported his name.
[My name is Jiuchong Musashi.] She was the daughter of the Nine Heavy Guards.」
[... Ninth level... Ninth level! You're the daughter of the Imperial Guard!」
"That's right, you are very similar to the young Lord Qi Chong. That's great, you look more like your mother!」
The Viscount smiled happily, while Musashi revealed an indescribable smile.
" I'm sorry... what are you and Musashi like..."
[Hmm? Well, her father, Lord Heavy Guard, is the sword instructor of our Sodrick family. When I was still a young boy, I once received his strict guidance. Aiya, he was really strict. That was twenty years ago.」
"My father always said that among the swordsmen he trained, no one was as talented and skilled as the viscount.」"Is this true? I'm still very happy to hear Master praise me, even if it's just a polite greeting.」
The viscount seemed to be overjoyed, and a happy smile appeared on his face. Musashi stared at the viscount with a serious expression and continued,""My father once told me that if I meet you, I must ask you to guide me.」
"This dojo was designed by the Lord of the Imperial Guard and built by my father in the style of Shengdu.」[This is very similar to the dojo in my hometown. Aiya, it was really nostalgic.」
[... Both she and I know how to use it.]
"Then don't stand on ceremony. Bring it on with all your might.」After the viscount said this, we sat down at the edge of the dojo so as not to disturb the two of them. At this moment, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out the intelligent PIDIDI from my pocket. Uh, I remember that it was indeed possible…
"... What are you doing?"
asked Lin dsay in disbelief.
"For future reference.」
When I answered, Else, who had volunteered to be the referee, stood between the two of them. After confirming that both of them were ready, she shouted loudly,
[Then-begin!]
"Your swordsmanship is quite accurate. Should I say that it's standard? Or should I say, you didn't do anything extra. Those sword moves were indeed the sword techniques I learned from the Lord Heavy Guard.」
"... Is there a problem with that?"
[No problem. However, your skills can't be improved anymore.」[What…!?]
The viscount raised his sword high above his head. His body was filled with an unprecedented fighting spirit. Even we could feel the tense aura. [Attack!] Just when I thought the viscount was about to take a big step forward, he appeared beside Musashi in a flash. The sword in his hand struck Musashi from the front. In order to block this attack, Musashi raised his wooden sword above his head to defend himself. However, in the next moment, Musashi fell to the ground with a loud bang. She pressed on the side of her abdomen and moaned in pain.
[It, it ends here!]
Elsa announced the end of the match. If this was a real duel, Musashi's body would have been cut in half. [Oh…]
[You better not move. You probably have a few broken ribs. If he moved recklessly, his lungs would be pierced by his bones. Kid, come over here and help cure her."」
[Ah, okay.]
[... I'm fine now.]
Musashi thanked me and stood up. She bowed deeply in front of the viscount and said,
"Your guidance makes me extremely grateful.」
[There is no shadow in your sword. You have to interweave the real and the false, retreating and advancing, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent. It was impossible to break through the domain of the dojo's sword techniques by relying on standard sword techniques. I'm not saying that this is bad. After all, everyone has different standards for being strong.」
The viscount pierced through Musashi with his gaze that seemed to be able to pierce through others.
[What are you pursuing in the sword?」
Musashi did not answer. She fell silent and stared at the wooden saber.
"Let's start thinking from this point. In this way, he could find a way out. After you find it, come back here.」The viscount left the dojo after saying this.
"... Miss Elsa... This isn't comforting..."
[Ahahahaha!]
Being glared at by Musashi, Elsa could only laugh dryly. We were about to leave the residential area of the nobles and head to the checkpoint.
[Musashi, what are your plans for the future? We're going back to Resagan."
[What should I do…]
