Chapter 11 - The Journey Begins Part 1

"No, your attitude towards your servants has been conveyed to some extent, though it's unclear. And you who aren't royalty shouldn't be able to buy a castle in this country, no matter how much money you have. I have a friend a Marquis, so I'll ask him to guard this castle and its servants...

"I am reluctant to give up my ancestral castle, but I think it is better than being taken by a debtor."

Tell him with as straight a face as possible... It's hard to prevent a triumphant smile from spilling out, but Roy will only say that it's a punishment that has long been applied to his good character. He had simulated it many times, assuming a conversation.

Satra, the daughter of a true merchant, would have no intention of paying any money unless the circumstances were strict. Since it would just do a pointless thing, his legs were scooped out.

As long as the financial aid was taken properly and the Countess's seat was shot, no matter what happened, the position and even the castle could be secured, but both of them were strangely stingy.

He contacted Roy's friend, the son of the Marquis, and offered to sell Nonfeni castle, his ancestral residence. Even if Roy says he's going to sell it and go on a trip, he encourages him by saying something odd that he's realized that to is life.

Maybe he knew a little behind the disaster surrounding Roy, but he didn't care.

After the duel with the Dane, the recovered prince once again invited him to play the role of the swordsman, but he was easily given a position and robbed without any investigation. Roy gave up on a stable life.

The selling price was cheap due to the condition of the remaining forts and the identities of servants and peasants were guaranteed, but castles that cost a lot of maintenance were sold even though they were expensive, sometimes cheap. It is impossible to level the land and sell the house apart.

The wages of the servants who were in arrears were finally paid off, and some of the older servants said that they would retire at this time, so that they could add more to the salary than the severance pay, etc. Roy doesn't have much money anymore because he has to spend money, but if he saves money and uses it, Roy will be able to manage it.

The desire to embark on a bloody and exciting journey as an adventurer, which Roy always heard from his master, more than anything else. No matter how hard he tried, Roy who was not truly noble did not have the confidence to protect the castle and the servants.

A few days later...·

"Hodgson... what will you do in the future?"

A young man asked from the back seat of a carriage pulled by a mini dragon. Although the horse carriage is a small two-seater with only a coachman's seat and a back seat, this size is the limit for a mini-dragon before an adult beast, but it runs twice as fast as pulling with a horse.

Hodgson was his current name, and it seemed his legal name was Roy Hodgson, but it seemed to be the lineage of a country Count he had never heard of, Little. Judging from where the legendary creature was at rest, the dragon felt like it had a long dream.

Tan-tan skin, purple eyes, purple hair… It's hard to tell what the features of the body are now, but it doesn't seem like the world he lives in. This world is like a fairy tale, where monsters are rampant and magic is real.

Roy seems to be a fallen noble, and even though he failed his mission and killed himself, he got back up… or maybe he was reincarnated, saying that he had been transferred.

The reincarnated man suddenly became a noble and was reborn, and at first, he wondered what had happened, but he had a situation like Roy's, it was difficult to continue living like that, and he had nothing to do with everything. The reincarnated man decided to throw it away and live a free life. Although free, this time he bears the title of adventurer.

The young man sitting in the back seat named Dash Spencer, who seemed to be accompanied by Roy, because he didn't want to, reluctantly allowed him to accompany him.

He sold his palace, paid back the debt, and told his servants that the curbside was scarce and could not afford it, but he said he could make money and use it.

Therefore, Roy decided to take him as a companion on an equal footing ... because of loneliness.

The reincarnated man thought his presence might be like the Japanese kosho during the Warring States period.

When the Sengoku warlords went to the battlefield, they could not take their wives or concubines, but what had to be done on the battlefield was that there were cases where the kosho were made to lie down.

There's another benefit to using a male kosho... If you're a wife or concubine, you're more likely to have kids, but if you have one heir, that's all you need. If there are many children, there is a greater risk of being kidnapped when opening the castle and being held hostage, and there may be a battle for succession.

In that sense, it can be said that the kosho that does not have to worry about children without contraception is comfortable ... The man heard that some military commanders put him in the kosho, but it is true that there are various theories. fake.

Originally the Reincarnated Man understood that Roy who had been single for a long time was always accompanied by a high-ranking noble, so he wouldn't accidentally have a child outside. the scene where I touched Dash didn't come back in his memory of this body.

One of the reasons, she has no interest in men (although women are also limited to 2D) and also has no intention of taking them, but she gives up because she can't go.

"It's not a formal way of saying it, but... that's fine with Roy."

"Hmm... then... Roy-sama."

"No, that's why you don't need to wear it since I've already left the title of Count."

He wasn't Roy in the first place… The Reincarnated Men were just Earth withdrawals.

"I'm afraid... you are my Lord, and I am the only one besides Hodgson. Even if it is better to call your name, it cannot be abandoned."

When Roy turned around, Dash in the back seat continued to wave his arms forward as if there was nothing to lose.

"Okay, okay, I'll be leaving the title of Count and going as an adventurer, so it's better to leave this name as well. Call me Tara from now on."

The Reincarnated Man apologized to Roy, and was allowed to mention it… If something went wrong in the future, he preferred to keep the Count's name clean.

"Tara...? This sounds weird again... what does that word mean?"

"It's meaningless... well, if I can't explain it, will I cross the road?"

"From the kanji, it can be said to have the meaning of leaving the port by ship or departing."

By the way, in this body's memory, Roy seems to be taken from the legendary dragon Royal Dragon on the rise, Nonve's long name is the name of the estate belonging to the Count's family, and Spinikun was a big name several generations ago. after his ancestor, Hodgson is the surname of a traditional noble family.
