Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Year 7444, Month 12, Day 14

The passenger carriage arrived at the capital around 3 pm. For the time being, in the case there's some kind of trouble they should either show their faces in my company or leave some sort of message there. We walked on to Bell road towards Greed Company and we noticed the abnormality when we were just about to be able to see the company. There's four horses connected to the stake in front of the store. Oh~ I wonder if there's some nobles here? and thought that for a moment but two of those are Miduchi and my own horse.

After all they were here. However the remaining two are considerably good war horses as well. One of them seems to be wearing a harness far more expensive and extravagant than my own. And then I noticed it right away. Yotlen and the others are sitting in a daze on the bench against the wall of the store in front of those horses. Something seems to have happened...Since Yotlen and the others don't seem to be in a panic it doesn't seem to be anything dangerous.

"Since Zenom-sam is together with them as well I'm sure it's nothing too strange though. Ral..it would be good if she didn't do anything stupid though.."

"Huh, it's just Reira-san, Anna-chan, and Hanna-chan right? I wonder if Kanna-kun is still inside?"

Bel and Miduchi are saying but I somehow don't get it. The reason I can't see the Ryogu family must be because they're in the rubber workshop or maybe they're in the store but if I normally think about it at this time they're probably at the workshop. In that case then, Yotlen and the others must have been shut out.

"..In any case let's go."

Just as Toris said nothing will start unless we go.

When we approached the store, Anna and Hanna noticed us. It seems that the two of them are wearing pretty thin coats but since the sun is still out at this time even though it's winter they don't seem to be trembling from the cold.

"Ah, president, thank you for your work."

"Presichent~ thanch for your wrosch."

"Oh~ what's going on? Why are you all outside..Yotlen, are our members here? Did something happen?"

Normally the wooden door in the front of the store is left open to make it easier for customers to enter. But today that door is shut.

"Ah, president, thank you for your work. That is..this morning, soon after seeing off the Ryogu family to the workshop, Firefreed-sama and the others brought some guests..Since Firefreed-sama's daughter said they have something important to talk about so..Did the president not know about it?"

The mother of the Yotlen family, Reira replied while looking a bit cold.

"Ha? I have no idea. Guests..What kind of people are they?"

When I said that and Anna replied from the side.

"Two people who seem like knights and one person who seems to be an attendant."

What in the world is that? When I looked around at everyone they were making faces like question marks were floating above their heads.

"What Gwine together with them?"

"Yes, Akdam-sama was together with them and the six of them are talking inside."

Yotlen replied to Miduchi's question.

"Was the one who instructed you to close the door Ralpha?"

"Yeah, somehow, it seems like they had an important conversation that they didn't want anyone to hear about so only when a customer comes, we should get permission and then we can enter. She allowed me to let Kanna sleep on the second floor."

She replied to Bel's question without pause. Certainly, I've sent out notice that Zenom and the others are employees of Greed Company as well. If I don't do that then putting aside the sub-Noble Toris and the slaves, the commoners and Free People will be troubled in various ways by taxes. They're something like senior employees to Yotlen and the others. If they're given instructions then they probably can't or it's difficult to oppose them.

"How do things look in regards to the discussion? Are they yelling at each other or anything?"

"They don't seem to be yelling at each other but..occasionally I can hear some loud voices."

According to her reply to Toris's question it seems the situation isn't very dangerous. Though it might be just a bit serious, there are times when your voice can get loud just from talking normally as well. And it might be a laughing voice as well.

"In any case, it would be best to just go inside and ask what's going on first."

After saying that I casually opened the door and stepped foot inside.

Zenom and the other two along with three strangers were sitting at the reception set in the center of the store glaring and talking to each other. Around the round table from the left was Zenom, Ralpha, and Gwine, and then from the right side there's a male human knight looking guy where high class clothes, another Tiger-man who also seems to be a knight in the center, and then on the side a Cat-people man who's outfit is pretty shabby and looks like an attendant sitting down. Since we suddenly opened the door and came inside 12 pairs of eyes looked at us.

..This is unexpected. I see now. Reincarnated people huh? Furthermore three of them even. Since Zenom is here I guess they couldn't speak in Japanese, so I'll forgive them on closing Yotlen and her daughters outside of the store. Though I can't accept it.

When Toris and Bel took a deep breath about to say something behind me, I raised my right hand and stopped that before briskly walking to the side of the reception set with the attention of the six of them on me. Other than Miduchi I can feel the presence of Toris and Bel who's statements I stopped following behind me. It seems Zulu and Angela are outside the door.

I lowered my head to the three I don't know and after putting in just the words, "Please excuse me in the middle of your conversations." and I looked at Ralpha. If you were to ask why and it's because Zenom and Gwine's expressions were saying, (we tried warning her a number of times. I'm sorry it ended up like this.) In addition Ralpha's expression was (Ah, so he's already come?) Not to mention she's avoiding eye contact with me.

"Ya~ Ralpha. So you were in a place like this. I was worried about you."

and I said with as kind of a tone of voice as possible. Hearing this not just Ralpha but Zenom and Gwine were surprised. I'm sure that's the case.

"However, I'm glad you were safe...Now then, you know what you need to do right?"

This time I said it as kindly as I could as well.
