Chapter 46
A few people remained in the headquarters tent.
Count Rimtech and the three Royal Knight Captains.
And the members of the Prominence House.
“We will withdraw as soon as the handover is complete.”
“As the lord governing this land, I shall support the Royal Knights.”
“Count Rimtech, please seal off the dungeon, just in case.”
“Understood.”
“Thanks to the swift response of the Prominence Marquis House, the damage was kept to a minimum. I will report this achievement as soon as I return to the Royal Palace.”
“To think that the one leading a small unit to seal the dungeon was truly a child.”
“We must also do our best so as not to be outdone by Claude-dono.”
The handover concluded without any issues, and Claude was on his way home with Father-sama and Brother-sama.
“Honestly. I told you not to do anything reckless.”
“There were even more dangerous situations when I went material gathering with Netzal-san.”
“In any case, it’s a joyous thing that everyone is safe and our objective has been achieved.”
Upon returning to the mansion, Mother-sama greeted us.
“I’m so glad everyone has returned safely.”
“You seem well too, Mother-sama.”
“While everyone is away, protecting the house is my role, after all.”
Just then, Netzal-san also came out of his room.
“I wasn’t worried, but you must be tired. This is a Recovery Potion with enhanced fatigue-recovery effects.”
“Oh, thank you very much. I’ll drink it later.”
“It would be helpful if you could give me your thoughts on it afterward.”
Sometimes I suffer terribly from his new failed concoctions, but this time it should be fine.
It has to be fine.
“Fahrenheit. I know you must be tired, but please summarize and report on this incident.”
“Understood. I will compile the report within a day or two.”
Claude also returned to his room, drank the Recovery Potion Netzal-san had given him, and then worked on his report.
Though I say ‘compile,’ I had mostly just been fighting, so it was finished in no time. I then headed to Brother Fahrenheit’s room with the completed report.
“Brother-sama. Excuse me. My report is finished, so could you please check it?”
“Alright. I’ll look it over right away.”
Brother-sama’s desk was piled high with documents.
While Brother-sama was looking over my report, I was free, so I brewed some tea using the provided set.
“Brother-sama. Please have some, if you’d like.”
“Thank you. The report is well-written, and there are no issues.”
Even though he hadn’t been on the front lines much, he must have been exhausted from being swamped with command duties.
Brother-sama was drinking his tea with a lot of sugar.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
“No. Just you making tea is more than enough.”
“It seems I’d be a bother if I stayed too long, so I’ll take my leave now.”
When I left the room, one of the servants was bowing their head.
They must have noticed Brother-sama was tired but were probably troubled, thinking they shouldn’t disturb his work.
“Please take care of Brother-sama.”
I said only that and returned to my own room.
