Chapter 1-Visitors and premonitions

(TL:By Rafael)

It has been about two months since our adventure in Glad-Shi Im.

The spring weather was beginning to give way to sweaty summer days.

We had a visitor at our "Clover" party base.

"Hey, Sorry for interrupting."(Benwood)

"Benwood? I thought we didn't have an appointment today."(Yuki)

"Yeah, we didn't. I'm here on an urgent matter. I came by in person."(Benwood)

The man who entered with a light laugh was Benwood, the master of the Finis Adventurers' Guild.

It is usual for this man to pay a sudden visit, but what is unusual is that he is accompanied by someone wearing a heavy cloak behind his large physique as usual.

He looks somewhat suspicious, but if Benwood is with him, there is no need to be alarmed.

"Oh, hello, Guildmaster. I'll get you some tea."(Silk)

"Oh, Thank you for your warm reception, Silk-chan"(Benwood)

Silk, who glanced at me from the kitchen, greeted me and immediately withdrew.

Recently, I have often invited him to consult on various matters, but I think he is getting too familiar with the place.

However, I felt that it would be unwise to leave the guests standing, so I called out to the person in a robe, 

"Please take this chair. I can take your jacket if you like."(Yuki)

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Mister Yuki Ferdio. "(??)

I felt a tug at my heart at the sound of that voice, and my thoughts began to wander.

I've heard this voice before, but I can't remember who it was.

But ...... that question was immediately cleared up.

"......!"(Yuki)

The moment I saw the figure, which had taken off its cloak, I dropped to one knee and hung my head.

I thought my heart would stop. There was someone here who shouldn't be here.

"Ah!, please don't be like that. I'm here today as a friend of ...... Benwood's, so feel free to call me Vince."(King)

The man who smiles softly is Vincent V, the current King of Welmeria.

He is a reformer who has made Welmeria prosperous in the last decade or so.

It is not surprising that he is a friend of Benwood's, but he is not a person with whom one should have casual contact.

"Oh, is that a visitor? Welcome! Take your time!"(Marina)

Marina, dressed in light clothes that clearly show the lines of her well-developed body, probably intending to go shopping, comes down the stairs and calls out to me in her usual manner.

Please don't do that, it's bad for my heart. What if I am accused of disrespect?

"Oh, Marina. I've always seen you on the news, but you're even more beautiful in person."(King)

"Thank you but what do you want, Uncle?"(Marina)

"Well, I'm about to tell you about it."(King)

"Oh, yeah. If we do decide to take the job, thank you very much for your patronage!"(Marina)

Marina bowed her head and went out humming a tune.

I, on the other hand, turn to the king, almost falling over with a stomachache and headache.

Oh, this was much easier than when I was dealing with "King Vordan.

'Yuki, you really don't need to worry about this. He is a brother to Saga"(Benwood)

"I mean, you're also like a brother to me."(King)

"That means you are  also like his apprentice."(Benwood)

"I don't know about that, Benwood."(King)

I relax a little when I see them getting along so well.

At that moment, Silk appeared with a cup of tea.

"......"(Silk)

she harden up after all.

I guess there was no choice but to freeze. I think Silk is a good enough because she didn't drop the tray.

"You must be the sub-leader, Silk Amberwood. We'd like you to join us in our discussion."(King)

"Ha-ha-hi."(Silk)

Silk, completely stiff with nerves, sat down next to me and the four of us sat around the table.

"I received a letter from Prince Mastoma."(King)

"Eh?"(Yuki)

King Vincent, who had just taken a sip of his tea without even looking at it, cut right to the point.

As expected of a former adventurer, he seemed to understand our style.

"In addition, through Benwood and Manuela, I have had the council consider the matter you have been discussing with me. As a result, we have decided that the Kingdom of ...... should intervene in this matter."(King)

"I see."(Yuki)

"Yes, Your concern and judgment are correct. You did a good job in bringing it to our attention."(Benwood)

"I appreciate that."(Yuki)

King Vincent chuckled at my response.

"He is such a hard man. A young adventurer should be a little rougher."(King)

"I have been given the  A rank by His Majesty, sir."(Yuki)

King Vincent let out a small gasp in response to my answer and pulled out a small box.

He holds it in front of me, made of well-polished wood, and smiles.

On the other lid is the official seal of the Kingdom of Wellmeria.

"First of all, I'm giving you my advance for this case."(King)

"What is this?"(Yuki)

"Open it."(King)

I do as I am told and open the box, but with trepidation.

There, shining brightly, was a collar with a design of a four-leafed white clover, made of white silver, which seemed to be made of white silver.

"......?"(Yuki)

"......?"(Silk)

Silk and I stared at the collar for a moment and simultaneously gasped.

This is not good. This is very bad.

I look at the king, moving my head awkwardly, like a rusty pulley that one forgot to oil.

With a big smile and a big grin, The king claps his hands.

"Congratulations, From this day on, you are a nobleman of Welmeria."(Kimg)

"You did it, Yuki!vNow you're one of the "Count of the Labyrinth" just like me!"(Benwood)

"Wait a minute. What do you mean? I don't understand ...... at all!"(Yuki)

The "Count of Labyrinth" is the nobility of Welmeria.

This is the highest honor for adventurers who have achieved great success in acquiring the labyrinth resources promoted by Wellmeria and in conquering the labyrinths necessary for labyrinth management.

Although it is a one-time honorary title, its prestige is higher than that of a mere A rank, and it also allows the adventurer to act as a vassal ......, or nobleman, directly under the king.

You can't just give it to someone as a gift.

"I cannot accept it."(Yuki)

:Unfortunately, it has already passed the royal council. I'm sorry for the delay in giving it to you, "brave" Yuki Ferdio."(King)

"......!"(Yuki)

I quickly realized that this in hand was not a joke at all.

This was probably going to be tricky.

The beginning of a new adventure began with such a premonition.

TL Note- Well I didn't get much of a break but who cares now Yuki is a count....or is he?
