"Phew! Father, the wine tastes good after a hard day's work."
My beloved son, Dublin, is drinking cheap sake in front of me. His once plump figure is thinning from hard work and poor food. At the same time, he has lost the spirit of nobility, has he not?
This is a serious matter. My son has forgotten his noblesse oblige... and drinks so well after work? This ale that you don't even know what's in it? If we continue to sit on our hands, the heir of the glorious Galli family may be dyed in the same thought as a commoner. I have been wondering what to do, but it is dangerous to make a choice that will take so much time.
Dublin, we have decided on a course of action.
"Oh, are you going somewhere for a drink? My master has given me some good places to eat, and I will take you there!"
My head hurts. Why is he so quickly adjusting to the life of a commoner after only a month or so? Have you forgotten the glory of your past? Do you mean to say that you have forgotten the life that we deserve, a comfortable house, good wine and food, and no inconvenience, with a large number of subjects and crushing those who oppose us? I'll have to check. If I'm really a commoner, I'll have to cut Dublin off.
"...... Dublin. You are not satisfied with your life, are you?
Haha, you say the strangest things. It is impossible for me to be satisfied with my life. ...... but father, I'm having a little fun these days.
"You're having fun?"
Yes, nothing in my life has been more difficult than this. But in such a humiliated life, we have to give those who have disrespected us more pain than death. Just the thought of that uplifts me for some reason. I have never had such a strong desire in my life! Father, I may be experiencing the feeling of being alive right now."
I am the first parent to see Dublin's face with a hearty laugh. ...... Hmm, I see what you mean. I thought I'd given Dublin a life with no strings attached, but maybe he's just tired of having everything he wants. I guess being pushed into a corner for the first time in his life has shaken the boredom out of his heart.
I have no intention of forgiving those who did this to us. I'll find them and give them hell, but I might as well give them the honor of hanging myself after I've done them in.
I see what you mean. You seem to be enjoying yourself so much I was afraid you'd forgotten your noble pride.
"Is that so? I'm sorry to worry you. I am the next head of the House of Galli. I would never betray my father's expectations and forget my nobles' pride. You can rest assured.
"Yes, my beloved son Dublin. My father will be very pleased with your attitude.
Thank you, Father. So, what's the next move?
Yes, that's right. You should not have had to hold the sword. All you had to do was to give orders from the rear. I will teach you to use the sword outside while you are an adventurer.
"Sword?"
"Yes. We'll go to the homeland with a certain level of skill and escort merchants and others. You are at a high level, so it won't take you long.
I have my men capture demons in the labyrinth and make them stop in Dublin to raise their level. They are accustomed to physical exertion from carrying the load, and it shouldn't be long before they are able to fight to some degree. I'm not sure about going out of town to risk my life, but it's the least I can do at this point.
"...... So you are going to head for the homeland while developing your abilities and escorting the merchants and others? The closer we get to the homeland, the more people will know us, and the more letters we may be able to deliver.
"That's what I mean. Tomorrow I'll get you weapons and armor and teach you how to use them while taking simple requests."
"Ha."
Weapons and armor, you'll only get the cheap stuff. It's a hassle for a Galli to pick up a cheap weapon from the ...... cheapest place in the world and regain his fighting instincts. I thought I would never have to fight again after my father defeated the enemy so many times.
**
For ten days, he teaches Dublin the sword while taking requests to go out of town. It's really just the basics of how to swing a sword, how to keep your distance from the enemy, and how to evade.
Even if you are at a higher level, you can't learn these skills overnight. We can't stay in this town until we are ready. Maybe I should get a job as an escort.
"Ha-ha-ha, you guys are father and son adventurers! And the dad is old enough to be an F-rank adventurer...shouldn't he be dead by now? Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha."
He stops Dublin from reaching for his sword. I took the job as an escort to get as close to the kingdom of Chrysoprase as possible. The first members of the team are these idiots. ...... adventurers are a bunch of thugs, I didn't expect them to be, but they are still unpleasant.
How can they be so arrogant with a rank of D? They may be young, but they are still over 20 years old. I don't know much about adventurers, but they must be dropouts too. They must want to find someone lower than themselves somehow, to be superior to them. I'm not very happy that it's me.
"Hey, hey, are you so scared you can't speak? I wonder what the guild is thinking giving jobs to people like this. Hey, you two sons of b*tc*es, we don't expect much from you, so at least don't drag us down. If you slow us down, we'll kill you.
"Father ......"
They're a party called the Dragonlords. Do you understand?
Yes, I'll never forget it. I'll make arrangements for you as soon as I get back to my country. But at this rate, the more people we have to punish, the busier we'll be back home.
"It can't be helped. Even if you do not know me, you must reward me for my insolence. Let them know to whom they have been disrespected.
"Of course. I look forward to that time, father.
You've got a nice smile on your face now. It will be a difficult journey, but if he overcomes this hardship and reaches the Kingdom of Chrysoprase, he will have grown up one or two times and become a man worthy to be the head of the Marquise de Galli's family for a time. I walk in the rear of the merchants, feeling good about my son's growth.
No, this is not the time to be thinking. We cannot be killed by bandits. We must be on our guard and watch our surroundings.
We'll camp here today. You're no use to us. You and your son can keep watch, you understand?
The leader of the Dragonlord who says something funny and walks away quickly. Hmm. I'd like to cut him down.
"Father. Let's kill him.
I'm inclined to agree. But listen to me, Dublin. Do not let your anger blind you to the purpose at hand. Killing them here will make you feel good but it will disqualify you as an adventurer and make it difficult for you to return to your country. Then others who should be punished will live long enough to see their punishment. Are you satisfied with that?"
"...... No, I'm sorry father. I should have focused all my energy on getting back to my country first."
"That's right. There will be more unpleasantness in the future, but you will return home, and you will be punished for your disrespect on top of it. Do you understand?"
Yes, I will keep that in mind. And I'll think of a suitable punishment for them. How about torturing them so they can't sleep for ten days?
"Ten days. You can't realize your crime if you've lost your mind. Do not forget that you need a break to realize your disrespect.
"I see, so it's not enough to just make them suffer."
That's what I'm saying.
The night of the watch passes in the pleasant talk between father and son. There are many unpleasant things, but it is not so bad to spend the night talking with my beloved son like this.
**
"Well, it's finally over."
"It's been a long time. I had no idea that someone so rude could exist. I do not know what the future holds."
Dublin looks tired. He knows in his head that he cannot move now, but it is difficult for him to convince his heart. I have been so jaw-dropped by such trash that my veins have almost severed.
They should have taken care of the goblins themselves... but instead they call us to fight. I'm glad you had a good experience. Yeah. What's a little experience for a goblin?
We are low-ranked adventurers and can hardly take on long-distance requests. It's frustrating to have to go to the Kingdom of Chrysoprase.
"I am sure that the future is not good. It's not proper for me, a noble man, to be present at torture, but I'm going to make a special effort to hurt them myself.
Father, I'm in.
You and me?
Yes!
"After they have suffered enough, they will be fed alive to the goblins. Be careful not to kill them in the heat of the moment.
"Oh, you're going to feed them to the goblins they've been fooling around with? It's going to be a comedy not to be missed.
A comedy, indeed, with those incompetents crying out to be fed to the goblins. A third-rate comedy, but most enjoyable. Lately, I feel like all I can think about is punishing someone. But I am sure that this is one of the driving forces to return to my country. We must think of some great torture to keep us from being discouraged.
"All right, let's look for our next assignment. Dublin must gather information on the surrounding area. Information about the bandits and the war is important.
We cannot die. It is too dangerous to be attacked by bandits with a Dubliner who is not yet skilled with a sword. We must take the safe road, even if it is more circuitous and less expensive. When we return to the country, we might as well send an army against the bandits as a way of taking it out on them. I will hunt them down thoroughly.
Yes, sir.
Once the order has been made and the provisions have been purchased, we can have a drink at the inn today. It's cheap booze, but it will make you feel a little better when you're this tired. The real celebration will take place back home, with the best wine and the best food.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
