Chapter 62

Chapter 62 – Simplified Version

After the unexpected passionate slime jelly talk――

「Oh yeah, Takumi-san . Please stay at our mansion while you are in Bailey」

「Eh?」

Cedric-san suddenly proposed to us .

「No, to be taken care of that much…… besides, we are already staying in an inn」

「There wouldn’t be problem canceling the inn, right?」

I thought of reservedly declining, but Cedric-san wasn’t giving up .

Well~ I don’t have a problem canceling the inn, but…… however, because I don’t know how long we will be staying in Bailey, I would feel awkward being taken care of for a long time .

However, when Cedric-san said he would like playmates for his children once in a while, I immediately surrendered . I mean, there’s not many opportunities for Allen and Elena to come in contact with children of their age . While in Bailey, I’m sincerely thankful for the opportunity of them interacting with Theodore-kun and Latis-kun .

That being the case, I have decided to stay in the Risner House’s care during our stay in Bailey .

◇ ◇ ◇

The next morning during our stay in the Risner mansion, I have woken up with the sunrise because of going to sleep earlier than usual .

Allen and Elena are already up .

「Good morning」

「「Morning~」」

「Did you sleep well?」

「「Un」」

This being the mansion of nobles, the futon in the guest room are soft and comfortable to sleep on, but our sleeping hours didn’t increase .

Because it’s still too early to be waking up, I thought of passing the time by rolling around the bed, but as I’m completely awake, I started dressing up .

Then, because at least one of the servants would be awake, we left the room seeking the permission to go to the garden .

Sure enough, we immediately found Servant-san, who told me that Cedric-san is already awake, so he guided us to him .

「Good morning」

「Takumi-san, good morning . Allen-kun and Elena-san, good morning to you too」

「「Morning~」」

Cedric-san in a dressing gown, sitting on a sofa and reading a letter .

「The sun has just come out, was the bed not to your liking?」

「No, I have rested properly . Both the children and I don’t sleep for too long, so」

「Is that so?」

「Yeah」

It seems that Cedric-san is worried that we didn’t sleep much because we woke up so early in the morning .

「Say, Allen, Elena . You have slept a lot, didn’t you?」

「「Un」」

「Soft~」

「Comfortable~」

Cedric-san didn’t seem convinced by my explanation, so I asked Allen and Elena . Thereupon, the two turned towards Cedric-san with smiles on their faces and answered .

「Is that so?」

A gentle smile floated on Cedric-san’s face after hearing that .

I don’t know whether it’s because Cedric-san looks like Isaac-san, but Allen and Elena quickly warmed up to him . There weren’t any problems even with conversations such as this .

N~…… nevertheless, it appears that Allen and Elena liked the soft bed very much . The inn we were staying at wasn’t a cheap inn, but as expected, the quality is entirely different . If it’s like this, I should get a good futon in the near future .

「Cedric-san is early as well, aren’t you?」

「Yes, a reply came from Isaac to the letter I sent him yesterday」

Eh? A reply to a letter that was sent yesterday?!

I asked because I was curious and was told something unexpected .

「Isn’t that too fast? Doesn’t one-way letter delivery usually take about one month?」

「Y, yeah……」

…… Rural village . Which reminds me, there was such setting . I have completely forgotten .

「In that case, it’s no wonder you are not aware of the existence of the transfer magic tool」

「Transfer magic tool, is it? Those in dungeons?」

「The principle is the same . It’s just that these can’t transfer people like those in the dungeons」

Transfer magic tool, as the name suggest, is a magic tool that allows sending items over a long distance . Unlike the transfer device in the dungeons, it’s a magic tool large enough to be held in both hands which apparently can’t transfer people .

On top of being able to transfer only to a place with the same magic tool, it can only send letters and small items like accessories .

But, in this world where conversations are the mainstream exchange, this magic tool is convenient .

Also, it appears that the transfer magic tool can’t be produced by people’s hands and there’s no other way than to acquire it in dungeons . Even though researchers have been studying the magic tool for many years, it appears that it’s impossible to reproduce .

It seems that a magic tool that transfers people like the ones in the dungeons is like a dream within a dream .

「Does that mean you can deliver items anywhere as long as that place has the same magic tool?」

Isn’t that dangerous in a sense?

It would be possible to deliver explosives to the destination and destroy it .

「No . These magic tools have something akin to an individual recognition code . It’s possible to send only to magical tools that have registered that code」

It seems that transfer magic tools (simplified) have individual codes which are registered with the first transfer .

It appears that one-way transfer is possible depending on the code is registered .

Naturally, the registrations in the castle and other important places are limited, and the exchanges between countries are apparently dealt firmly in establishments in separate places .

Besides, it appears that the magic tools owned by the country are nearly all currently located in Adventurer’s Guilds .

Because they can be obtained only in dungeons, most of them are acquired by adventurers, so it’s only inevitable that the Adventurer’s Guilds will purchase them .

Thus, the transfer magic tools in the Adventurer’s Guilds are used to send and deliver letters .

The fee is higher than delivery by carriage or fast horse, but the fee is apparently set to a price that even common folk would be able to use it .

The biggest advantage is the fast delivery .

「So Adventurer’s Guild also had such use, I see . I didn’t know . Then, since it’s possible to deliver between the branches of Adventurer’s Guilds, is it possible to send letters even to the foreign countries?」

「Yeah, that’s right . Adventurer’s Guilds all over the world are branches of one establishment, so they have the codes registered . This letter also went through the Adventurer’s Guild and was delivered just a little while ago . It was delivered as an urgent case before the sunrise」

「Urgent? Did anything happen?」

「No . Isaac just deliberately send it like that」

「Hee?」

「It appears he was frustrated by my boasting . Well, in other words, he’s harassing me」

「Boasting? Harassment?」

「Yeah, I was boasting in the letter I sent yesterday how good the slime jelly tasted . Of course, I even told him that you would teach me the way of making Cream bread」

「Eh!?」

Does that mean that Cedric-san wrote Isaac-san a letter in which he boasted about the slime jelly and Isaac-san who read that letter sent a reply letter urgently to be delivered before the sunrise in order to harass Cedric-san!?

These siblings, what are they doing~!?
