We’re now moving to the dining hall, where the lord’s family and the guests (us, the student group) are having dinner together.
Mira-chan who’s holding hands with her father, joined us on the way.
「Papa’s surprised at how strong my magic is now. Ufufu~」
「It’s true that Mira and the girls have a lot of magic, even from my point of view」
Sophie-oneesama’s walking nearby, giving a serious look.
「I’m already losing to Nasha in terms of height and breast, I can’t lose to her in magic, my dignity…kuuu」
She’s a battle she can’t lose as a senior.
By the way, Sophie-oneesama’s a 17 year old sixth year student. She’s a cute legal cunny, small in height and chest. I won’t say it because she’s conscious about it but she’s already past her growth stage and won’t grow anymore.
「Hey, Alec」
「Hmm? What’s up Lina-chan?」
「I wasn’t invited on this trip just because it would be a good experience for me to become a lord.」
「You’re right」
「But, being a lord is a lot of work, and you have to fight in wars and defense, and it must be tough」
「Yeah」
Wars with other races, including other races, don’t happen often in other kingdoms, but jobs like subjugating and governing territories are very common in every land.
Administrative work such as governing a fiefdom is studied after fourth grade and above, then students are divided into lord, civil official, knight, and housewife (limited to women) courses.
「They say everyone wants to be a lord because you can make a lot of money」
There are eight girls I have a relationship with. Lina-chan, Nasha-chan, Mira-chan, Emily-chan, Safira-chan, Luvis-chan. Then, Ceres-mama and Minette.
If I want to marry everyone and live a comfortable life, then I need to earn a certain amount of money. I would like a medium to large territory that’s reasonably developed.
「Alec’s already making a lot of money so there’s no need to become a lord, right?」
「Yeah」
Lina-chan told me and I realized…
Come to think of it, I make a lot of money from side jobs, like making music, designing clothes, and most recently, producing idols. Sales are especially amazing because I sell them at premium even though the cost of the goods is low.
Emily and the other girls who didn’t come with us are still performing as idols at school. They could start doing in the capital after graduation, or they could recruit applicants from new students and have them debut in the academy city as new idols.
Either way, the popularity of the Kiryu girls is a huge success. It’s also strong that many dragon god believers are in the fan base so they won’t leave easily.
There’s no problem in my future source of income.
「Huh? I guess I don’t need to become a lord now?」
「Yes. So you know, as for our future…」
Lina-chan told me this, I gave it another thought. With my current income, I can afford it, and the fans bring in a lot of gifts, there’s no need to work hard as a lord. That’s a surprise.
Lina-chan tries to speak up as she sees me thinking.
「This way please. The Lord is waiting」
I hear the guide’s voice. It seems like we’ve arrived at the dining room.
We’ll talk about this later.
However, I didn’t realize that the income issue has been long resolved. I had unknowingly made this “become a lord” objective a rather means to an end and I’m glad that Lina-chan helped me reaffirm that fact.
「Lina-chan, let’s talk about it later」
「Right… Let’s leave it to later」
When the door to the dining room opened when we entered, we were greeted by a beautifully dressed lord’s family.
「Students, let us welcome you once again. Take your seats. We hope you enjoy the variety of dishes our chef has prepared」
「Thank you very much, Crystial-sama」
Nasha-chan’s over there too, so Sophie-oneesama, the eldest of the group, exchanged greetings with Philip as the representative. Sophie-oneesama’s the oldest of us so this is the proper way.
There’s no problem here since we already learned how to respond to invitations from a superior in our etiquette class.
「Danna-sama, your sit is over here, please」
「Oh, thanks, Nasha-chan」
Well, the contents of that class is no use in this situation!
Nasha-chan’s smiling and is in good mood, leading me by the hand and I sat alone in the side of the Lord’s family, facing Lina-chan and the girls across the table.
Nasha-chan’s Father, Mother, and she were lined up next to each other, and in front of us are Sophie-oneesama, Mira-chan, and Lina-chan in that order.
「……」
Lina-chan’s looking at Nasha-chan with a blank expression. Scary.
Whether or not she noticed the gaze, Nasha-chan remained smiling.
Nasha-chan’s father seem to be a quiet person, and Sophie-oneesama also don’t talk much, so there’s hardly a conversation. Mira-chan is enjoying the food at her own pace, and I can see Nasha-chan’s mother’s eyes shining as she looked at them from the other side.
What’s this dinner party.
「Danna-sama, open your mouth」
「Aahn~」
Nasha-chan even if it’s your home, I don’t think it’s good manners to have a course meal. I’ll eat it though.
Also, Nasha-chan’s father is staring at me without saying anything…
Ah, this food is delicious I guess feudal lords eat good food after all. Munch.
