Chapter 403: Idiots are worldwide.
I could tell that Tsubaki’s good mood suddenly dropped as soon as her hooves stopped.
Port City Biezzer…… a bustling beautiful city inhabited by, not only Humans, but also Beastkin, Dwarves, and even Mazoku from the Demon Continent…… is how it should be, but I can’t help but feel I’m loved by trouble.
What stopped our carriage were, indeed, some seemingly slow witted men.
Was the man who came out of a tasteless, gaudily ornate carriage parked on the road a noble’s servant? Tsubaki must have also thought that intimidating people downtown was very immature, so she was pouting and kicking the dirt but still being patient.
The foolish man took notice of Tsubaki’s patience and shouted at our carriage.
「The owner of this carriage! Come out and show yourself at once!」
I was fed up with the pompous man who had caused an obstruction, but if I looked irritated, Akane and Sophia who could have competed for who look even more annoyed would have probably jumped out of the carriage to hit that octopus, no questions asked.
Maaaaan, I went out of the carriage and Sophia followed after me to guard me.
「May I help you? You are blocking the road, so could you please move your carriage soon?」
「Kid, I will give you the honor of offering that Dragon Horse and carriage to my Master! Hm? That woman, an elf? That’s too good for you, kid, present that woman too!」
What the hell is this guy saying? He’s not even here to talk.
「I decline. You’re blocking traffic so please move.」
「Kid! My master, Earl Sechnal, desires that carriage and Dragon Horse! Present it obediently!」
「That is out of the question. Tsubaki is my familiar, an important companion. I am not willing to give her to your master, no matter who he is. The carriage is also one that I made especially for myself. King Valkyra has limited the general sales, so please inquire with the Valkyra royal family.」
I had mentioned King Valkyra’s name, but the man looking down on me for being young didn’t stop.
「Stop blabbering and obey!」
「I refuse.」
As we were quarreling with traffic on the main road, many curious onlookers had gathered unnoticed.
「Moritz, how long will you dawdle? Have you not talked to them yet!?」
「Master, this naïve and cheeky brat is making it difficult. 」
From the gaudy carriage, a man dressed in tastelessly extravagant clothing that showed that he was indeed rich had alighted. This person must be Earl Sechnal himself.
「Mm, ohh! You even brought an elven woman!? Kid! Hand over that woman! I’ll buy her for a suitable price!」
「I refuse. She is my wife.」
This man is an Earl? Is this country alright?
「Kid! Do you intend to defy me, an Earl!? 」
Full plate mail clattering, knights deployed to the left and right of the foolish Earl.
「Haa……」
I involuntarily sighed deeply. I don’t know if it was their master’s orders, but all of these knights were also stupid for trying to coerce us by gripping the hilt of their swords downtown.
At that time, a voice called out in the midst of this oppressive situation.
「Ooh! To think we would meet here. It has been a long time!」
「Your Majesty, please don’t go by yourself!」
Walking closer with overflowing seductiveness was the Succubus Queen Fraal who governed Accuros, the entrance to the Demon Continent, and her attendant, Ryuka-san, who hurriedly followed after her.
Today, unlike when we saw her at Accuros, escorting knights chased after her.
「Ooh! If it isn’t Queen Fraal of Accuros. To think you would have even come to greet……」
Earl Sechnal, was it? Queen Fraal raised her hand at that Earl who started addressing her.
「Hm? Who might you be? Unfortunately, I have no recollection of you. You appear to have misunderstood, but it was Iruma-dono over there whom I called out to greet.」
「Eh? Your Majesty Queen Fraal and this youngster are acquainted?」
It was then that Ryuka-san, who finally caught up, saw us.
「Ohh! Aren’t you Iruma-dono and Sophia-dono!? It’s nice to see you. You seem to be doing quite wellー Your Majesty, please don’t move ahead by yourself. You’re already strolling in town without using a carriage at your own whim.」
As always, Queen Fraal was as free as ever. And Ryuka-san was experiencing hardships as always.
「And why are you in a place like this, Iruma-dono? Are you having a dispute?」
「No, actually……」
「Y-your Majesty Q-Queen Fraal! I have urgent business, s-so I-I must bid you farewell, please excuse me!」
When I was about to explain the situation to Queen Fraal, Earl Sechnal was suddenly flustered, remembering he had some urgent business, then boarded his carriage and left.
「……what was that?」
Sophia and I couldn’t help but stare at the tasteless;y gaudy carriage as it drove recklessly through the city.
