Chapter 278 – Solicitation
The composition of Flora and the others was different from the last time they came.
One new member has been added.
A female knight with a ponytail stood next to Flora like a maid.
Apparently, they don’t let men into the mansion, so it seems they brought a female knight.
Live here… Not bad.
No matter how you think about it, it was a good thing to not let men into the mansion.
“…To live together…?”
“Yes.”
Flora nodded her head calmly.
Of course, I came with the lord’s permission, but…
It is surprising that the lord allowed it.
There are few fathers who allow their daughters to live together even in modern society.
Even more so, wouldn’t this world be better?
Is it between the lord and Flora?
Or is it both.
Either way, the story is that I really liked it.
Flora obviously showed extreme reluctance to live with her at the time I proposed, but looking at her expression now, she doesn’t just hate it.
‘I don’t think Flora was too heartless… Did she like me that much? This… Is…Is that it?
Can’t be determined
I’m just guessing carefully.
Because I already had one big misunderstanding, I became cautious.
Even if that’s the case
Would there be a man who would refuse a beautiful girl of that level to want to live with her?
“Then…”
“I would like you to give me a room.”
Before I could finish my words, Flora demanded urgently. He seems to have thought that I would ask him to stay in a room.
‘Hmm… Is it embarrassing? I’m confused.’
What… I can’t help it.
I had no intention of forcing you to stay in the same room.
And the sea that I also wished for.
I am currently working on an important project.
If I stayed with her in her room, trouble could happen.
“Okay. I’ll give you a room.”
“Thank you. And…”
Flora glances at her knight, and she brings out her little box in front of me.
“This?”
“I’m sorry about what happened to her maid last time. I brought it as her apology for that.”
The box was full of magic stones.
Considering that there were also quite a few high-level magic stones from the 10th floor of the labyrinth, it was quite heavy, probably because it was a lord.
I’m already rich in magic stones, so it’s no big deal, but… In return for the job, I gave them an excessive amount.
The more magic stones, the better.
There is no reason to refuse.
I put the box into my inventory.
“It’s almost time for dinner. Let’s have a meal together.”
“Thank you.”

It’s been a while since I ate at a restaurant.
Do you want to educate Eileen?
Solving the brainwashing of the maids.
Soon after, I was busy with an important project, so I didn’t have time to have a leisurely meal at the restaurant.
Long table.
I sit in the middle
On the left are female knights called Flora and Melissa.
Eileen on the right.
And Liliana, who often eats meals in her lab, was sitting down with me at the cafeteria for some reason.
Unfortunately, there was no Ignis.
It’s been a while since I saw her face.
When she was brought here, it was said that she was taking away her magical powers accumulated in her zombie world.
After she went into her room like that, she hadn’t come out yet.
Seeing as it takes quite some time.
It seems that a considerable amount of mana has accumulated.
‘Well, since she drove all her magical powers gained from her hunting…’
No worries.
Looking at the raid status window, it was fine.
I could force her out, but I didn’t want to disturb her suffering.
If you wait, it will come out someday.
The maids bring the dishes.
We started eating while being attended by maids.
“Oh my, the dish is very pretty. And it is really delicious.”
Flora tastes the dishes prepared by the maids and admires them.
Melissa, the escort driver next to her, also nodded her head lightly, as if approving.
It has to be delicious.
This is because the maids in charge of cooking have upgraded their skills to a large extent with all kinds of spices and cookbooks, as well as the finest cooking equipment originally brought from around the world.
Thanks to that, the chef-maids have acquired high-level skills in Korean and Chinese cuisine.
“How about it. Flora, you also decided to live in this mansion, so there will be nothing to hold back from now. Do you still have that thought?”
Liliana had invited her disciple when Flora came before.
And Flora declined the offer.
But Liliana didn’t seem to give up just yet.
Shouldn’t she be able to say that Flora has a considerable talent for her magic?
“Yes? That, that’s…”
Flora looked at me as if she was a little taken aback by Liliana’s proposal.
“…?”
Why are you looking at me?
“Hmm? No way…You want to be my disciple? I’m always welcome. Well, I’m better than Liliana.”
I thought that if she became my disciple, she would educate me with all my heart, just like Eileen.
A priest of Eileen might appear.
“Huh! Is that true? Flora.”
Liliana looks quite shocked at the reality that her charm as a teacher is better than mine.
“Miss Liliana. That, that’s…Ah, no…”
“Whew… That, right? No?”
At Flora’s words, Liliana put on a very relieved expression.
Unfortunately, it seemed that he did not want to be my disciple.
“I was wondering if I could learn magic from Liliana…”
Flora says that and she watches me carefully.
“Could it be because of that guy? You don’t have to worry about Unho.”
“…”
When Liliana talks about it, it makes me want to interrupt it somehow.
“But…That’s…”
Flora glances at me and hesitates.
‘Hmm… ? This…’
She came in with the goal of marrying me.
If I had to guess… It would be asking for permission from someone who might become Jiabi.
It may be the custom of this world, but…
It is a very obedient figure that cannot be seen in modern society.
If you say no here, you become a narrow-minded person.
I had no intention of interfering in the first place.
“How about learning, isn’t it okay?”
“I-really?”
When I gave permission too easily, Flora put on a bewildered expression.
I wonder if Liliana was pardoned by a suspicious pseudo-mage.
She is a wizard
I had no reason to stop.
“Unho, Unho, thank you.”
Flora’s face looked a little excited.

The sun had set and it was dark.
Henry was perplexed.
The maid who had been watching her in front of her also entered her mansion, leaving behind a bloody warning, ‘If you come in without permission, I will not be responsible for the later work.’ She was left alone.
No one cared about him.
There were no buildings other than the mansion.
Looking at the situation, it seemed that he had no intention of giving him a place to sleep.
What the heck does knight treatment mean? .
He is not the kind of person who will be treated like this no matter where he goes.
Henry’s pride was hurt.
And he was troubled.
‘Should I sleep at the driver’s quarters and come back… Huh! Is this… Is this a magician’s ploy to separate me from Flora-sama by treating me so poorly?!’
Under normal circumstances, I would be angry at this.
But that is not the case now.
Anyway, the original escort knight was Melissa.
It was as if she had been forced to follow.
It doesn’t matter if you go back like this.
‘What if I go to the driver’s quarters, sleep, and then come back?’
There was a possibility that the wizard would not even let them into this site.
She didn’t want to go thinking that way.
No, you shouldn’t go out.
I left this wonderful mansion and became homeless outside.
Henry’s situation was absurd.
-Growl…
‘Sir, you won’t even give me food, right?’
Anxiety surged in Henry.
‘…It’s awful. They plan to kick me out somehow!’
There was no way he could do anything without food.
It was when Henri was standing in front of the mansion, dazed and anxious.
“Don’t you have a place to sleep?”
He heard a man’s voice behind him.
Henri turned his head to see the young gatekeeper approaching with a friendly smile.

The gates of Slumber were always crowded with people coming and going.
There was a loud sound of horses hooves.
– All right! All right!
The eyes of the people who had lined up to enter the slubber naturally turned toward it.
A large number of men and horses were running from behind, raising dust.
People immediately recognized that they were knights in shiny white armor.
The rider at the head of the knights was holding a large flag.
The noisy people saw the flag and instantly became quiet.
Because the flag embroidered with golden trees was the symbol of Thera religion.
“Gulp…Te, Terra Church…Paladin…”
The guard guarding the gate resented the unlucky ordeal that befell him on his turn.
The eight paladins soon approached the castle gate and stood up. Their white armor was covered in dust, perhaps because of their long journey.
The guard’s body stiffened with tension at the paladins he had never seen before.
Among the paladins, a female knight with golden hair stepped forward.
She was beautiful
But the guards didn’t even feel like admiring her beauty in a cold atmosphere.
“Is this the city of the blasphemous?”
The female knight asked with her golden eyes shining brightly.
“…Yes?”
The soldier was nervous, but when the female knight said something that she couldn’t understand, she questioned herself involuntarily.
“…I was in a hurry so I said the wrong thing. I’m sorry. Is this Slumber?”
“Yes, yes…Slubber is right.”
“Do you believe in Theraism?”
“Yes, yes. I believe. I also make offerings every month.”
The guard thought that only for this moment should he believe, even if he did not believe.
“Good. Good job. I’m going in.”
It was a one-sided notice.
However, the soldier guarding the gate was unable to say anything.
The Paladins entered the city without hesitation, receiving people’s gazes at once.
As they disappeared, people waiting in line murmured.
(Te, why is the Terra Church Paladin in the Slubber…)
(What happened in the slumber?)
(Isn’t this the wrong way? Should I go back?)
“Ugh! This is not the time! A paladin! Uh, hurry up and report it!!”
The soldier, who was momentarily dazed, hurriedly moved his feet to report to the captain of the gate guard.
