Inside the Sylphide territory, Dante was preparing to immigrate to the Sanctuary, and Darphy had to seed the family.
「……to think that seeding as the head of the family was this simple.」
「You fool. It’s because it’s the House Sylphide that it’s simple. If it had been a higher rank, it would have been much more troublesome, you know?」
「……Father, that is not something to boast about.」
In actuality, though it was called a session of heads, Dante was handing over the role onto Darphy, and he knew the amount of paperwork that would follow.
The amount of paperwork in a Chevalier’s territory at the border was far less inparison to the documents that Darphy must process in the Chivalric Order.
Even the paperwork that umted over the two months in Dante’s absence when he was at the Sanctuary was still easier than the documents Darphy had to process daily.
With that in mind, one would think that it was a nice and easy as a lord, but that was a rural vige in the Sylphide territory. There was no easy path for an insignificant Chevalier.
As was the case with Dante and Freesia, they naturally had to cultivate and do farm work themselves. Other misceneous tasks in the territory were also Dante and Freesia’s jobs.Compared to the time when he was in the Order, there was definitely a lot less paperwork, but a life of part-time farmer despite being called a Lord was waiting for Darphy.
「I can probably get daily necessities there, but I will need to bring clothes and underwear.」
「What of Mother?」
Watching Dante pack clothes into a bag, Darphy asked what he would do with his mother Freesia’s clothing.
ording to what he heard from the servants of the mansion, she did not bring that much luggage. He didn’t hear about the Sanctuary having a store that sells clothing.
「……Ahh, you have nothing to worry about if it’s Freesia.」
「Umm, that……」
Darphy grew anxious as Dante stared into the distance for some reason. Freesia must have made some sort of mess.
Darphy knew. She looked kind and gentle mother, but she was actually very strong. That was exactly why she had Dante under her thumb, and was secretly the shadow Lord of the House Sylphide.
In House Sylph, the women were strong. His sister Sophia, and his mother Freesia.
As such, in a way, Darphy acknowledged a certain man named Iruma from that despicable Human race.
When he met that man when he came to the Sylphide territory, and at the marriage proposal in the Sanctuary, his sister who was ipetent in any other way than fighting lookedpletely feminine.
Darphy did not personally know about how his sister was when she was still active as a knight, but when he had be a knight himself, he had heard of her incessantly from his bosses and colleagues.
Back then, contrary to her beauty, she did not seek for the attention of any man, and if anyone tried to talk to her frivolously, they would be a tattered rag in an alley in the Royal Kingdom.
Darphy and Dante both knew that his sister Sophia was actually very simr to his mother Freesia.
「At Iruma-kun’s ce, I remember there’s a Unique Arachne known as Kaede-kun living there.」
「I see, that’s an S Rank Cmity ss monster. That makes me want to question that man’s sanity.」
Even if they couldn’t see it, there was a cmity ss monster always by that man’s side. Even during the wedding, its shadow had already frightened him.
「So, you must be aware of how rare and luxurious Kaede-kun’s threads are.」
「I-impossible, are they using arachne threads for their clothing?」
「It’s exactly that. Iruma-kun and Sophia obviously, but even the mansion servants made everyday wear from cloth made of Kaede-kun’s threads.」
「Wha!? Not even His Majesty wears such clothing!」
Not even the threads of a Killer Spider circted the markets, much less a cloth weaved from the threads of a legendary monster arachne existed in the treasure room of Yggurle Kingdom.
「I-is mother……」
「Precisely. That Freesia asked Kaede-kun so casually.」
「……a-ah, I see, the Sanctuary has no clothing store so, it must have been inevitable.」n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
「There are stores that sell clothing and general items even in the Sanctuary. Besides, Iruma-kun apparently has a store in the Royal Capital. If she felt like it, she could buy as much clothes as she wanted.」
「……how very much like Mother.」
「Yeah, in a positive sense, Freesia has no reservations with family.」
「No, wouldn’t you consider call that predatory?」
「No more of that, Darphy. What would you do if Freesia hears of this from the Wind Spirits?」
「Ah!」
When told so, Darphy’s face paled as he looked around nervously.
Darphy was still unable to hear the voice of the Spirits, but he was still able to see where they were.
「Fuu, that was dangerous.」
「No, we might already be toote. You can only see mid and high level Spirits, can’t you?」
「Ah! Oi! Don’t tattle to mother!」
Darphy’s shouting was likely already toote.
「Father, I will help you pack your luggage, please do something about Mother……」
「Yeah, I’m already troubling you with the session, after all. I’ll do what I can about Freesia’s temper.」
「Thank you very much, Father.」
Dante and Darphy, who couldn’t be considered close in these recent decades, hade to understand each other’s feelings. The reason for this was pitiful though.
