36 – Long time no see. Rails

Huh? What did i hear wrong?

I looked at Euler with an incomprehensible face.

But Euler, who met my eyes, let out a deep sigh and opened his mouth again.

“Your fiancé. Lady Chloe Krafden called you.”

“… Just now. Did you say Chloe Krafdon?”

At my question, Euler nodded his head bitterly.

I was a little taken aback by the fact that I had a fiancé.

Well, it’s crazy, but I thought it could be because he’s the eldest son of a marquis.

But what? Chloe Krafden?

How could you not know its name?

Chloelle Krafdon, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Krafdon.

He is a person who must have whatever he wants regardless of front and back, and is famous for being more insane than Rail.

Originally, after Rail’s death, while talking to the Violland family, he fell in love with Allin and used all sorts of means to have her.

But the future had changed, and I survived, and her fiancée was still me, Rail Bioland.

I looked up and looked at Euler.

Euler also doesn’t seem to like me very much to meet her.

However, the opponent is a duke.

Even the Violand family with a long history had no choice but to bow before the duke.

“Should I go see Chloe right away tomorrow?”

“In her letter, she said she wanted to meet her fiancé after a long time.”

“Is that so….”

I fell silent for a moment and thought.

As expected, Rail originally had the body of a pig and had the personality of an idiot, so Chloe would hate Rail even if she were her fiancé.

As expected, Chloe, even if she is her fiancé, she will hate Rails for her pig-like body and f*cking personality.

Otherwise, she would have made an appearance at Rail’s funeral.

But she didn’t show up at the funeral of her own fiancé, Rail.

Then, why did you suddenly call me, who hates me so much that I wouldn’t even attend the funeral?

That Chloe, who doesn’t even attend the prom because it’s annoying.

Actually. There are quite a few parts that are a little predictable.

The fact that I lost a lot of weight at the prom, the archmage Fenia became my personal magic professor, and recently subdued a drug party run by Aron.

Since Chloe heard all the things that might interest her, she was curious about my current situation.

Then what should I do?

“Did Chloe say anything else?”

“When visiting the mansion, they told me not to bring anyone except the guards.”

“I see.”

Perhaps he said that because he was in trouble if the archmage Fenia visited the mansion together.

But it was rather good news.

It was clear that if Chloe caught sight of Allin while she was with Allin at the mansion, something very annoying would happen.

I’d rather visit alone and come back without incident.

No. To be precise, it’s best to be hated by Chloe and make her engagement a thing.

I finished my thoughts and opened my mouth.

“Okay. Then I will tell you to prepare the wagon tomorrow morning.”

“Yes. And if you can, come back within four days. As you know, you must be present on that day.”

Is there an event in four days?

But instinctively I don’t think I should ask what day it was, I nodded and replied.

“Yes.”

I bowed my head and left Euler’s room.

As I left the room, I saw an empty hallway.

“… ….”

As if no one was nearby, there was only quiet silence where not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

But for some reason, I feel like someone is watching me nearby.

It is different from the five senses such as touch and smell.

At the end of the hallway, I can feel a slight magical power.

There is a person watching me over there.

Judging like that, I used light magic on my body to the fullest.

And then I took a step towards the place where I felt the magic.

Fortunately, I couldn’t hear my footsteps because my body was lighter.

And when I arrived at the place where I could feel the magic with the sound of inaudible footsteps, I saw an orange-colored maid braided in two braids.

“What are you doing here?”

“Le, Master Rail… ?”

The maid met my eyes and lowered her head.

She is one of the new maids.

So I didn’t know her name yet.

“I was just cleaning the hallway.”

When she lowered her gaze, she was indeed holding a mop in her hand.

But the mop was very clean to think it had been cleaned.

Looking at that, it seems that he secretly eavesdropped on the conversations I and Euler have had so far.

Fortunately, it didn’t matter if I listened to it because it was something I’d tell everyone tomorrow, but from now on, I’ll ask Fenia to put a soundproof spell on it.

I asked her, frowning and laughing.

“What is your name?”

“My name is Delphine.”

“Yes. Delphine. Could you prepare a wagon for us tomorrow morning?”

“Yes. All right.”

With one nod of her head, Delphine immediately moved her feet to prepare her wagon.

As she left her seat, she mysteriously no longer felt the magic she had felt before.

*

The next morning.

“What? Suddenly going to see her fiancé?”

“Yes.”

While I was having breakfast in my chair as usual, I announced that I was going to Chloe’s mansion today.

“This is the first time that Lady Chloe sings herself….”

Fenia was a little surprised that I had a fiancé, and Lila laughed bitterly at how much she knew about Chloe.

Kyle and her mother, Rania, didn’t seem to care.

I just sliced the steak with my knife and fork as usual.

“And this time, it seemed like he was asking me to come alone.”

“Does that mean that the lord will move to the mansion alone?”

“It could be dangerous, so I’m thinking of taking an escort with me.”

“I am the exclusive knight of the lord. Are you not going to take me?”

I nodded and let her know that Laila had ordered me to come alone.

“I can’t help it… ….”

At my words, Aline couldn’t help but nod her head.

Then he slices the steak and puts it in her mouth.

Aline slowed down a bit as she put her meat in her mouth, as if she was a little disappointed.

*

After the meal, I moved to the back mountain to train before moving to Chloe’s mansion.

After weighing Aline and myself with gravity magic, we climbed the mountain as usual.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Originally, it was normal to have miscellaneous conversations while climbing the mountain, but Aline didn’t say anything.

To be precise, it was normal for me to open my mouth, but she still didn’t open her mouth because she was still worried that someone might be listening, and because she seemed unhappy that Alyn didn’t take her a little bit.

“Ha ha, ha ha.”

After finishing the mountain climbing without chatting, the mountain climbing ended faster than usual.

As we were drinking lukewarm water, Fenia, who had been warming herself up by using light magic alone, approached us.

“Penia.”

“Uh. Are you asking for a potion?”

And at my call, Fenia started taking the potion out of her arms.

“No.”

“Huh?”

But I stopped her from trying to get her potion out.

From the day I caught the Lizardman with Rayman, I felt that my mana had increased considerably.

Even using gravity magic for about an hour, it didn’t put too much strain on my body.

So instead of her potion, I asked her for one of her things.

“Use some soundproofing magic around you.”

At my words, Fenia rolled her eyes, looked behind her once, and then lightly lowered her staff to the ground.

Kung. Along with the sound, the birds chirping that had been heard a while ago stopped.

“Looks like you have a good friend.”

“It seems like they’ve been eavesdropping on conversations since yesterday.”

Seeing me replying like that, Penia grinned.

“So what are you talking about?”

“If we move to Chloe’s mansion today, we don’t know when we’ll be back. And there’s no telling what Kyle and her mother will do in the meantime. So protect my father and Layla while I’m gone.”

“What is it? Were you just trying to talk about it? Isn’t that obvious? I’m a teacher too, but I’ve developed some affection for this house. So you don’t have to worry about anything.”

“I am of the same opinion. Lord. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Half a year has passed since Aline and Fenia stayed at the mansion.

They both seemed to be seriously thinking about this mansion, even if I didn’t have to say it.

At the reply of the two of them saying not to worry, I thought I was worrying for nothing, so I burst into laughter without knowing it.

I arrived in front of Layla’s room before moving on to Chloe’s mansion after a little chat.

Knock. Knock.

Let’s knock lightly. “Come on in.” Said Laila’s voice.

As I opened the door, I saw Lila reading a book with her glasses on.

“Older brother? Didn’t you go to Lady Chloe’s mansion?”

“I have something to say before we move.”

“What do you mean?”

In a way, Lila is on the same side as me.

Ellis also noticed Kyle and her mother’s conspiracy, and didn’t she try to become the head of the house herself?

So I decided to give Lila some attention.

“If possible, do not get close to the new employees. And if you see suspicious movements, don’t tell your father, tell Fenia or Allin.”

“… All right.”

Contrary to what I expected to ask why, Lila also seemed to sense something strange.

After I said that, I immediately turned around to go back to the carriage.

“Older brother.”

And just as I was about to leave her room, Layla stopped me.

Turning her head, Lila said in a low voice, a bit embarrassed.

“Please be careful… ….”

Seeing that, I smiled unconsciously and nodded my head in response.

“Yes. Thanks.”

After saying that, I went straight to the carriage before it was too late.

*

Quite a bit of time has passed since the carriage started.

Chloel’s mansion in the north was farther away from Elise’s mansion in the east.

Besides, I usually had a companion named Aline or Fenia by my side, but since I was alone, time seemed to pass more slowly.

Actually, I was really bored a while ago and asked Rayman to come inside the wagon, but

‘How can I get on the boy’s carriage? I will mount a horse from behind and escort you, the young master.’

She refused to get into the carriage with the words

.

Riding a horse for a long time can get tiring, but Rayman’s complexion still hasn’t changed.

Anyway, it seemed to be thanks to the mana flowing from the new sword that helped Rayman’s stamina.

After an eternity of time passed, the carriage suddenly stopped.

“We have arrived. Young master.”

“Okay.”

When the coachman said we had arrived, I got up and walked towards the door to get out of the carriage.

And the moment I reached out to open the door, the door opened with a small knock sound from beyond.

When the door opened, what caught my eye was a white-haired old man in a white suit bowing to me politely.

“Thank you for coming a long way. Rail master. My name is Duke, the butler of the mansion. Take my hand and come down.”

“Thank you.”

As I got off the wagon with Duke’s help, I saw servants splitting on both sides in front of me with their heads bowed.

“Welcome to the Crafton family. Rail boy.”

And at the same time bow to me.

As expected, even the same nobles have different duchy?

I can feel that there is courtesy in each and every gesture.

They were dignified and polite to the extent that they couldn’t be compared with the servants I’d seen so far, or to the extent that it would be rude to compare them.

But for some reason, I felt an atmosphere of reluctance among them.

What. These reactions are now somewhat adapted.

I was greeted by them and led by the butler, Duke, into the mansion.

Contrary to what I thought, the inside of the mansion was quite elegant.

I thought that if she was known as an idiot in the ducal family, she would be covered in jewels and artifacts like Rail.

I didn’t feel that I was degrading at all.

On the contrary, I felt that he was elegant and that he was an aristocrat who was awake.

Duke’s feet stopped after walking around the mansion for a long time.

“The young lady is waiting for you in the room.”

“I got it.”

I nodded at Duke’s words and lightly loosened my clothes.

Duke’s eyes fluttered slightly at the sight of me.

Then he coughs lightly and looks at my clothes.

“You’ve gotten a lot tougher while I haven’t seen you.”

What is this person talking about?

No way. Do you think I loosed my clothes slightly with strange intentions?

“Don’t get me wrong. Duke.”

I messed with my well-groomed hair and clothes.

Chloe is my fiancé.

Then, because of my recent activities, I was a little interested and invited me to the mansion.

But I have no intention of marrying the crazy Chloe.

That’s why, like the rails in the original work, I’m thinking of acting like an idiot, lowering her expectations and moving away from her engagement.

After checking my messy hair and clothes, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

“It’s Rail Bioland.”

“Come inside.”

Then, through the door, I heard Chloe’s voice, which I had never heard before.

With her permission, I opened the door and I stepped into the room without hesitation.

And I was able to face it.

The long, straight blue hair down to her waist and her blue eyes slightly torn as if to seduce men. She is an obsessive woman whose inclination is to be freed when she has everything she wants. I mean Chloe Krafden.

“It’s been a while. Rail. It has changed a lot more than I thought.”

She looked at me with a smile that seemed quite interesting.
