Chapter 152. Mission Completed

The following morning.

Even though I still felt a bit under-rested, we could regain a reasonable amount of energy.

Around the time we finished breakfast, Aria-san came to pick us up at the inn.

We followed her and headed back to the castle.

Upon entering the Lord’s bedroom, we saw the Lord sitting in bed with an improved complexion.

It turned out that the Lord’s illness had already healed, and his condition was rapidly improving.

While his strength hadn’t fully recovered yet, he could resume normal activities in two or three days.

The Lord remained seated on the bed and bowed his head toward us.

“Thank you very much, brave adventurers. I heard your story from my daughter, Althea. Without you all, both Althea and I would have lost our lives. Allow me to express my gratitude once again. Thank you very much.”

“No, I’m glad to hear that your illness has improved. Please take care of yourself.”

Just as I said that, there is another troublesome person who made an appearance.

“Father! How can a noble lower their head to commoners like this? It damages the dignity of those in power!”

This troublemaker, Elvis, boldly entered the bedroom and protested to his father.

Then, he turned his gaze toward us with a piercing glare.

“You commoners, why are you here again? Your business should have been done already! And you, Althea, it’s you again! Yesterday, you disregarded me, your brother, and dared to do such things as a woman. Do you think you can get away with it?”

His speech was as absurd as ever.

Aria-san was about to respond, but the Lord stopped her with a hand gesture.

Then, with a deep sigh, the lord spoke.

“Elvis… I’m expelling you from this household. Leave this castle.”

“What…?”

Elvis was unable to comprehend what he was being told, his mouth hanging open in shock.

Well, even from our perspective, this situation was quite puzzling.

It felt like we were suddenly watching a scene from a drama.

“F-Father… Wh-why… all of a sudden…”

“I said you’re disowned, Elvis. It seems that forgiving your various deeds up until now was a mistake. I heard every word you said in this room during my illness. I’ve reached my limit. Leave.”

“W-What…?! W-Wait, Father! I’m the eldest son of this family, you know?! If the eldest son like me is gone, who will inherit this family?!”

“Althea will inherit it. It’s not unprecedented in our history.”

“T-That’s…”

Elvis stumbled back outside the room, then fell on his backside.

And then, realizing his embarrassed state, he had a red face and dashed away while shouting something.

On the other hand, Aria-san was also visibly flustered.

“I, I’m… the successor of this family? F-Father, but…”

For her too, it seemed to be the first time she had heard this news.

But from here on, it would likely be unrelated to us.

The Lord, appearing to have finished handling the family matters, smiled at us.

“We’ve shown you an unsightly side of our family. Once again, thank you so much for this time. If you ever encounter any difficulties, don’t hesitate to seek my advice. Feel free to visit me anytime.”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

I replied, thinking the conversation was coming to an end.

However, the Lord smirked and added something unexpected.

“Oh, and… Daichi-kun, was it? You seem to be particularly favored by my daughter. If you have any intention of becoming a son-in-law, you’re welcome to. I can trust someone like you to take care of my daughter.”

“Father!? What are you suddenly saying?! T-This is a misunderstanding, Daichi-san! Father has misunderstood things on his own… Kazane-san, please don’t reach for your dagger. It’s a misunderstanding!”

Aria-san turned completely red, and Kazane-san looked like she was enjoying this situation.

As for the Lord, he was smiling cheerfully, as if he meant it as a joke.

Honestly, he comes out with the most unexpected things.

Even if it’s a joke, it’s a bit inconsiderate.

And then, Yuzuki said something like, “I don’t understand this recent phenomenon of senpai being too popular. It’s not like senpai is an unpopular wallflower.”. So, I responded, “Unfortunately, I agree.”, while giving her a little nudge.

In this way, we resolved another incident and accomplished our mission.

As of yesterday, the mission completion message board was already up.

There are 92 days left until our return to the original world.

But since we’ve been constantly active since arriving in this different world, the fatigue from pulling all-nighters still lingers.

I thought it might be okay to take it easy today and rest.

So we left the castle behind.
