69 – 18. change (5)
Lichtenau, which seemed to be collapsing, finally regained all of its former appearance.
Once again, he stood tall as the most brilliant swordsmith in the north.
There were even more great things.
It was the fact that Sien Lichtennauer, a family lord who was still considered lacking, did not lose against Fiore’s Soga lord, Etria, but instead made a tremendous campaign.
Soldiers are important, knights are important, and family strength is also important.
If there is another important thing as a master of swordsmanship, it is the ability as a ‘master’.
It’s not just about work ability or relationships with other families.
A reasonable force to lead the name of a master of swordsmanship.
The former head of the family or his successor was well versed in swordsmanship.
As the head of a master of swordsmanship, he had ample reason to lead the knights under him.
However, on the other hand, Shien couldn’t show the swordsmanship of those two.
No matter how many victories he commanded, if he didn’t have the appearance of a swordsman.
As the head of Lichtenau, he would not be treated appropriately.
‘But to think that Lichtenau’s household is on par with Etria’s Soga.’
‘Didn’t it mean that it wasn’t long before I learned swordsmanship in earnest?’
‘This is enough to say that the head of household is great.’
Now all doubts about Liechtenauer are gone.
All that remains is this established order led by the master swordsman of the north.
It’s just that they don’t have to fall apart because of their mistakes.
“Welcome, everyone. welcome.”
“Meet the Lord Lichtenau.”
“Thank you so much for inviting me to the banquet.”
Honey, like now, it was a natural result to bend down as much as possible.
“It wasn’t a big banquet, so I couldn’t prepare it grandly. I hope you understand.”
“Isn’t this the seat prepared for us? That’s enough.”
“That’s right. In the North, all you need is a drink and a snack.”
At the nobles’ words, Shien eventually burst into laughter.
Let’s put aside the fact that some of the nobles’ faces burned at that sight.
Afterwards, Shien hung out with them and shared more stories.
Of course, what happened to the Etenberg family was also the main one.
“You are so wonderful. It’s already on the same level as Etria Soga.”
“Isn’t this exaggerated in Fiore? The promising head of the family who has not let go of the sword since childhood is on the same level as the head of the family who has been holding the sword for less than half a year. It seems that the meaning of the word expectation has changed a lot without me knowing?”
“Ahahahahaha!! I think this friend is right, Lord Lichtenauer.”
“Hmm… .”
Had I been in a position like this for the first time, I would have just shown humility.
Whether it was luck, or Etria was careless, something like this.
However, Shien has now quite adapted to this position.
And in the meantime, if there is one fact that I realized.
It was the part that if there is a place to be humble, there is also a place to show a confident side.
“Well, it seems so. To be honest, Fiore’s sogaju skills aren’t very good.”
“Ahahahaha!”
“also! Lichtenau is better than Fiore!”
Northerners rank Lichtenau higher than above.
Conversely, Westerners consider Fiore stronger.
So even if Shien said something like that, no one said anything.
“Didn’t you say you would officially become head of household next month? From Fiore’s point of view, after being disgraced twice in Lichtenau, you will receive a new head of household.”
“Wouldn’t you have been punished for being arrogant about closing the Devil’s Eye?”
It’s a lot of fun to swear at them as they work together and bite and bite.
Shien was able to gain a big realization today.
In the meantime, the maids of Lichtenau are busy.
High-quality drinks and snacks to match are placed on the table.
Unlike Lichtenau in the past, which suffered from financial difficulties, it is very splendid.
“Now, everyone, have a drink.”
When Shien, the host of the banquet, said so, the nobles were invited.
And Lichtenau’s vassals raise their cups.
“I hope you all have a good time. As we have always done, let us continue to show a strong north. Your Majesty the Emperor, may you live forever. Empire, live forever.”
“Your Majesty, long live! Empire, live forever!”

tat tat-.
Adele was going through something she had never experienced before.
When old colleagues see it, they will be surprised at what a monstrous sight that is.
“Come see me, Adele.”
It is none other than the figure of oneself being dragged by someone’s hand.
Currently, Adele is being held by Shien and being led somewhere.
“Hey, Shien. Why are you like this… .”
“Come and see, you will know everything.”
Lichtenauer’s vassals and nobles of other families took advantage of the gaps in which stories blossomed.
Xien tried to convey his feelings to Adele, even if it was small.
I was confirmed by the butler in advance, and I was supposed to receive help.
At the end of the banquet hall when we finally arrived, the butler was waiting.
On a small table in front of him, a silver tray was placed.
“Adele.”
“Yes, Shien.”
“Roasted mushrooms and mushroom soup. Right?”
“… yes?”
“Adele’s favorite food.”
At Sean’s question, Adele blinked briefly before nodding her head.
When asked what your favorite food is.
After thinking hard, he said it was grilled mushrooms and soup.
I didn’t say it because I really liked it, but because I ate it a lot after beef jerky.
Occasionally, I went and ate poisonous mushrooms, albeit weakly.
He was already soaked in all sorts of poisons from fighting the demons for so long.
Rather, the level of poison has reached a level where it becomes nothing more than that.
Anyway, at Sean’s confirmation, Adele wondered what the items on the tray were.
It was quite predictable.
“Yes, that’s right. Shien.”
“great. Actually. I cooked for Adele myself.”
“You mean Shien-nim himself?”
“yes. Directly.”
It is a huge task for the head of a family to cook and serve.
Even Adele knows the basics of the basics.
Honey, looking at Shien with surprised eyes was a natural step.
“I didn’t expect you to cook for yourself, but… .”
“Whoop whoop. You can look forward to it, Adele.”
Saying that in a confident tone, Shien grabbed the handle that was covering the tray.
But why did the butler standing next to him look so bad?
chuck-.
Finally, the grilled mushrooms and soup that Shien had prepared appeared.
“… .”
what? Is it a burnt tree?
Adele was the first to come up with the idea.
“Hey, Shien. Are these mushrooms?”
“Yes. It’s a mushroom. To be precise, it is a Mukae mushroom that only grows under the Muka tree. It is a mushroom that has a reputation for its texture and aroma!”
“Is that so. But I’m not sure, so is the color of mukae mushrooms originally like this?”
“It’s not like that. It burned a little during the cooking process, but it should be fine.”
At Shien’s words, the butler was sighing deeply.
No matter how much I told them a few days ago and told them again, it was impossible.
No matter how much you control the fire, when you eat everything burnt.
If Shien was a person under me, he would have said it strongly.
You can’t cook like this, what kind of cooking are you doing when you can’t even control the heat?
Saying that, he would have warned me once more.
However, the problem is that Shien is her own owner.
It’s to the point where I can’t say anything even if it’s just a young girl.
Can you bruise the person who is the owner of the family?
All I can say is that you shouldn’t do this, it would be better if you do it this way.
Well, this kind of fairly soft words are everything.
“hmm.”
Even if you look at cooking and cooking, you can’t help but see it as a lump of charcoal.
Adele ponders for a moment, then bravely picks it up.
And after looking around for a while, he saw Shien and opened his mouth.
“Shin-nim.”
“yes!”
“… It looks really well baked.”
huh? what did i just hear?
The butler looked at Adele with a bewildered expression.
Is that young man lying because he thinks of Shien?
Adele’s expression was too serious.
It’s like a person who criticizes cooking.
Enemy-.
After a while, that lump of charcoal. Nope, the grilled mushrooms went into Adele’s mouth.
The butler who wished for something good to come out.
Seeing Adele nod, I was taken aback.
“Delicious.”
“Really?”
“yes. It’s really delicious.”
“So what about soup?! Try the soup too!”
As Adele’s hand reached for the soup, the butler’s concern arose again.
Yeah, it’s grilled mushrooms.
Although the outside is said to be burnt, the scent and taste of the mukae mushrooms are very deep.
So, if you just ignore the burnt part on the outside, there will definitely be a taste.
But that mushroom soup made even the butler give up.

Mistaking salt and sugar was a medicine department.
Shien rarely even looked at his liver properly.
At best, adjust the amount of water and add a lot of salt to make it brine.
They said it was too salty, so I put water in it, and then I put another full one to make a river.
It’s too much water, so it’s bland, so I season it again, but I put a lot of salt again.
It was like an ant hell from which you could never get out.
And the resulting mushroom soup.
From nob le mt l. co m
Mushroom ‘salt’ soup has gotten to the point where the word is more appropriate.
‘I tried to season it with water somehow before the family lord brought Adele, but… .’
If it did, it would become mushroom soup instead of mushroom soup.
So even he was a butler who couldn’t do it properly.
Horok-.
From nob le mt l. co m
Meanwhile, Adele takes a spoonful of soup and puts it into her mouth.
Shien was right next to him, watching with twinkling eyes.
“… Shien.”
“Yes, Adele.”
“Delicious.”
“Really?!”
It can’t be?! Can’t you taste it?!
The butler screamed inwardly and looked at Adele with worried eyes.
If it was so strange, would he ask this question while forgetting about Xian?
“Hey, escort. Are you really okay? Really taste… Are you there?”
However, the answer that came back was beyond the butler’s imagination.
“I think it’s the best soup I’ve ever had.”
“… .”
Having heard that far, the butler gave up on thinking about it.
Oh, I was thinking about this for a moment.
I think those two good men and women get along really well.
