289 – I found it, my manpower – 2
The higher the status of the buyer and the higher the amount paid, the higher quality the product can be obtained. Natural market logic that does not need to be explained. That’s why the wagons owned by the Krasius family boasted no shortage of quality, except for wagons supplied to the imperial family.
Durable materials, comfortable interior, comfortable seats as if you were lying on a bed, and a ride that hardly feels any shaking. Elements that allow you to enjoy the long and boring carriage life in a good way.
However, no matter how comfortable and comfortable you are, you cannot escape the limitations of a wagon.
“Sarah, are you okay?”
“It’s okay. How many times have you asked already?”
That’s because no matter how many times I look at it, my complexion doesn’t look good—I didn’t say that. It was obvious that if she said that, Sarah, who was already tired, would start to manage her expression. Rather, the condition should be revealed on the face as it is now, so that measures such as stopping the carriage or resting in the city can be taken.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
I tried to smile at Sarah, who smiled, but inside she felt like a sigh would come out.
If you like a wagon, wouldn’t it be a wagon? Ride comfort is good and there is little shaking? In the end, it means that you can feel the shaking even if it is fine. It’s a very minor inconvenience to the general public, but Sera is the first long-term carriage move after her long home life. She is a weak body that can feel the subtleties directly.
That’s why I tried to move by teleporting instead of wagons. Her mother was also concerned about Sera’s body, so she tried to attach her family’s mage, so it was possible.
“It’s okay. I’ll be active at the academy from now on, but I can’t complain about it being difficult every time.”
The problem is that Sera refused.
Sera insisted that she should get used to the carriage since she will have a lot to move her body in the future, and she won’t teleport her whole life. Unfortunately, her words were not wrong, so neither her mother nor her nanny could break Sarah’s will. It is a person’s mind that she has no choice but to hesitate even if a child with a weak body asks for an unreasonable request.
“If Sera looks tired, call me right away.”
“I understand.”
As the nanny shared her goodbye hug with Sarah with her wide eyes, her mother crept up to her and whispered. She told me that if Sarah’s condition is not good, even if she is in the middle, she will contact me right away. Then she can send her mage to teleport even then.
And I don’t know how many times she’s been fiddling with communication tools since the estate. Every time Serra stumbled over her body from the rocking of her carriage, every time she simply sneezed, how much her heart skipped a beat. Should she just call the wizard out of the blue and go comfortably, her desire to do her thing wriggled from time to time.
Of course, if she did that, she would be resentful of Sera, so she couldn’t act. She wants him to be strangely stubborn.
“Hey, Erich.”
In the meantime, Sera, who had a small yawn as if she had gotten motion sickness, cautiously opened her mouth. What, are you trying to call a wizard right now? Is this finally a chance to get out of this cushion of thorns?
“If you’re worried about me… Can you lend me your shoulder?”
No.
At that, she quietly corrected her posture and sat down. Looking at her atmosphere, it seems that she wants her body to be a pillar for me to lean on, but I can do that as much as I want. He would have been more happy if I had asked for a teleport rather than a pillar.
Anyway, as I adjusted her posture to make it more comfortable for her to recline, Sera leaned her head on her shoulder with a slight smile on her face. Actually, her carriage is also wide, so I wonder if it would be effective to lie down if you feel sleepy.
“It’s warm because it’s like this.”
“Really? That’s good.”
I can’t help it if it’s warm. For a sick person, temperature control is a critical issue.
‘It’s a shoulder.’
If there is anything regrettable, it is that the sleeping Sera’s body slid down and fell asleep naturally on her lap, not on her shoulder.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t get up from my seat until Sera woke up.
I was able to arrive at the academy without calling the wizard until the end, perhaps as a reward for sacrificing my knee. To be honest, it’s bittersweet to think of her anxiety about when to call the wizard during her visit, but that doesn’t mean Sera’s health is good. Let’s think it’s a happy thing.
While driving along the road from the front gate to the dormitory, I came across a carriage that caught my attention. Compared to other wagons, a uniquely splendid and huge wagon, the coat of arms of the Robens royal family proudly painted on the wagon door.
‘Rheutis?’
Anyone can see that this is the carriage that Ryutis rode. It’s even weirder when you bring a carriage like that and the person inside isn’t Lutis.
As if the other side had just found us, a knight who was escorting Lutis’s carriage approached us and had a conversation with the family escort knight.
“Brother.”
After a while, the simple window on the door opened and the face of the escort knight appeared.
“Lord Prince Ryutis wants to meet you in the club room if there are no plans later. It’s been a while, so let’s talk.”
A very good suggestion. I’ll be bored with nothing to do until school starts, so wouldn’t it be better to meet someone I know? If the opponent is Lutis, you can play chess or 1:1 jokgu.
Besides, if you go to the dormitory here, Sera will be left alone. No matter how close they are, a man cannot enter the women’s dormitory. How could a nobleman do such an unscrupulous thing?
“Do you want to go with me?”
When I asked Sera who was still on my knee, Sera straightened her body and tilted her head.
“If it’s Prince Ryutis, is he from the same club?”
“…Yes.”
It’s strange. Prince, the title of him is too unfamiliar. In fact, even though this is a natural title, I lost respect for it because I saw it in the club.
I’m a little sorry, but honestly, I can’t help it. Even an ardent follower of the royal family will lose loyalty after spending a month in the confectionery club.

“Don’t worry, he has a pleasant personality. If we were in the same club anyway, we’d see each other every day.”
“Yeah, good. I think I’m saying hello in advance.”
However, contrary to his calm reply, his eyes trembled strangely.
I understand. It’s natural to be nervous because you see the prince of a country out of nowhere. Of course, from my point of view, knowing the true nature of Ryutis, it just seems like meaningless tension.
“Oh, Erich! Long time no see!”
“Yes. How are you?”
After turning the wagon headed for the dormitory into the building where the club room is located, Lutis got off the wagon first and waved his hand.
After being greeted roughly, I heard Sera hiccup next to her. It seemed that he was very surprised to see the greetings of the royal family who were more easy-going than expected, and the nobles who responded casually to the royal family.
‘I have to get used to it.’
I’m sorry for the nervous Sera, but it’s the fate of a member of the confectionery club to quickly shake off the fantasy and reverence for the royal family.
That’s why I’m worried. How long will it take Sarah to reach that stage? First of all, it took me less than two months, but since I’m not good at human relationships, it will take half a year…
“Is the lady next to Sarah?”
“Oh, remember?”
This time it was my turn to be surprised. I’m sure I mentioned Sarah before winter break, but I didn’t expect her to still remember.
“That’s right, every time I talk about Lady Sera, affection drips from my eyes. How can I forget it if I try to forget it?”
Everyone who heard it burst into laughter at the exaggerated tone. She mentioned it a few times because she was going to see Sera for the first time in a while, but maybe not to that extent.
“Love…”
Still, it seems that Sera secretly likes her, so she didn’t bother to correct it.
***
Since arriving at the academy, she has been staying longer in the club room than in the dorm.
She has nothing to do as long as she stays at the dorm, but at least she has someone to hang out with in the club room. As the head of the student council room, Louise and Irina would come to the club room when Marghetta was busy, and if she was bored, Louise would make sweets for her—and she was having a very good break.
“Hmm? Were there any advisors?”
I was really good until I saw him.
‘Damn it.’
When she saw the face of Lew Tis, she realized that she had returned to her work. Vacation is over, and a new semester begins…
“Are you here too?”
“hahahaha, there’s nothing to do even if you’re in the dormitory.”
In the meantime, she felt ashamed for being there in my thoughts and his thoughts. Why do I only think about it at times like this?
Anyway, Erich and Sera came in behind Lutis who burst into laughter. I wonder if they met on the way, I didn’t know they would come at the same time.
‘He really came.’
And Sarah, who was always in her bed, saw that she was in the academy, and she felt different. Seeing her holding Erich’s hand, I wonder if she’s overdoing it, but considering that she’s tired from the long carriage trip, she’s an understandable sight. Even healthy people can get motion sickness when riding in a wagon for a long time.
“Hello brother.”
Sera bowed her head, perhaps noticing my gaze. Looking closely at her, her complexion was also tired, but she didn’t look sick.
“Yes. Welcome. Didn’t Erich do something strange?”
“No, why am I suddenly.”
When I jokingly talked to him, Erich, who was suddenly hit, opened his mouth hesitantly.
“Huh, there was no such thing. Thanks to Erich, I was able to sleep comfortably.”
At those words, everyone in the club room focused on Erich. All of me, including Louise, Irina, and Lutis.
No, of course I know that Sera was speaking in a meaningful way, and that the adulteress was activated. Because there was no way Erich would suddenly go beyond the active level and show a reckless move. Still, instinct is one step faster than reason, so isn’t it an unavoidable gaze?
“…A knee pillow.”
As expected, the obscene devil was right. I’m sorry, honestly I was a little skeptical.
Perhaps Louise was interested in kneading the dough, Sera also approached Louise and entered spectator mode. She even opened her face at the manor, so it seems like we’re having quite a conversation.
“I’m glad I have friends of the same s*x.”
Erich, who had been watching him blankly, quietly opened his mouth. With a sigh of relief as if it was really fortunate.
It’s definitely fortunate. No matter how much Erich cares about Sera, she cannot cross the gender barrier. Male and female dormitories, very occasionally gendered classes. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Erich to mark Sera exclusively.
“Brother.”
And Erich, thinking about something, looked at me.
“Uh.”
“If, if. If a situation arises where no one can take care of Sera, can her brother take care of her?”
It’s a question you don’t have to worry about. She’s not someone Sera doesn’t know, and she’s also the daughter of the chief maid, so of course she should be taken care of. As the heir of the family, it is common sense beyond her duty to care for her retainers.
“That—”
A good idea came to my mind just before I naturally answered ‘yes’.
‘…Should I embrace him as well?’
Erich, my younger brother, the imperial people, the confectionery club, the Krasius family, so they have quite a bit of authority.
If you think about it now, it’s a really perfect workforce. Unlike Ainter, who is vague to call someone below me, being clearly below me is also attractive.
“─I’d like to, but I’m not without work either.”
That’s why I beat Drift. It’s something I can do anyway, but if it’s possible, let’s show condescension.
“If you help me from time to time, I can afford it, then it’s possible.”
“Am I doing my older brother’s work?”
“Of course, they don’t do difficult things. If you leave it to non-professionals, the work will only increase.”
Yes, it won’t be difficult. It just burns inside and the desire to escape soars.
Still, I can guarantee this. I’m responsible for the really difficult and annoying main. It was enough for Erich to take care of the side branch.
“Okay. That’s what I’m asking too.”
“Thank you.”
Thank you very much, my Unit 2.
If I’m a family, I’ll take care of a lot of things.
