The lord of the Boses territory, earl Klaus von Boses, makes a suspicious face at the butlerâs report.Stefan as a trusted veteran from my fatherâs generation, he wouldnât make such a boring mistake, and for sure wouldnât do something unnecessary like answering a dubious guest who didnât have an appointment either. Then is it a special guest that Stefan decides should see me?In that case out of respect to Stefan, no, Iâll believe in Stefan.
âIâll meet them, bring them into the reception when youâre readyâHmm? Why arenât you going back?âWhat about your wife and children?âWhat did you say! Call my family as well!! What the hell are you thinking, Stefan!ââŚâŚCall themââUnderstoodâI decided to believe in Stefanâs judgment, so Iâll believe it to the end.
During the reception, every member of the Boses family was gathered. It is far from a Kingâs audience as there is only seats and a large table like normal. Although the price of the table isnât very ânormalâ.It is usually impossible to suddenly introduce the whole family to a visitor without advance notice. His wife Iris and their three children are all fidgeting with a restless expression. Klaus doesnât say anything while his family is like this. It is unavoidable because Klaus doesnât know anything either, but he couldnât say such a thing.(Please, StefanâŚ)\n
It seems that Stefan has finally guided the guest in.
âHalting from the country of Japan, Mitsuha von Yamano has come to greet the Earl of Boses.â
Klaus was surprised to see the person who had come into the room and being introduced by Stefan the butler. Beautiful flowing black hair, a face like a dollâs, and a never before seen mysterious dress. A coat which seems to allow ease of movement with a lot of pockets attached, and a mysterious tool next to the knife on her belt.It seems that she is from a foreign country I have never heard of, but a journey alone without escorts or servants even though sheâs the daughter of a noble? Moreover, as a ten years old child!Klaus anger ignited. Not towards the girl, but towards the parents and those around her. Why didnât they stop her! Why did they let her?!
âPleased to meet you for the first time, I am called Mitsuha von Yamano. Although coming from a distant country, I wish to pay a visit to the Earl of Boses, and pushed an unreasonable request on your butler. Please forgive meâ(tn note: Her translation cheat is working overtime to the point that even the MTL turned out fancy)
Klaus was impressed with her firm manner of speaking that does not match her age. Hm, though sheâs young, as expected of someone Stefan allowed though.
âUm, your trip from afar must have been tiring. It is fine to take a rest at my house for a while. So why did someone from so far away took the trouble to visit this Bosesâ house?
If you came from a distant country, you would first head for the capital. There is no reason to stop by the lord of such a place.
âYes, in fact, I was attacked by a herd of beasts in the middle of the journey and my life was in jeopardy, and I was saved by people of this territory.I would like to share this with the lord to let you know my gratitude and the presence of good subjects as soon as possible.â\nâWhat, is that true!â
Itâs a pleasure. To have someone appreciate and informed me that my territoryâs people helped without robbing them. I was able to show it to my children. How delightful this is!While I was immersed in emotion for some time, miss Mitsuha took out a package from her handbag.
âAlthough it is a modest thing, I will be delighted if you receive this item brought from my homeland as a feeling of appreciationâ.Stefan receives it and delivers it to Klausâs side.
âW, what, is thisâŚâThe heavy weight indicates that it is made of metal, but it is an elaborate item with a brilliant color and glossy feel. I have never seen it before, nor understand its application at all. However, there is no doubt that it is a gift of superior technology.
âIt is a folding utility knifeââWhat, a knife!âKnife, when Klaus heard that his eyes open wide. Though this is elaborate and expensive, something this short and difficult to grasp is? And folding? How do you use it?
âYes, although I said knife, itâs not like the one used in combatâŚ. Well, itâs like a tool. Blade, scissors, filing, etc., various small tools are folded inside. I guess it is easier to understand if you pinch and pull with the tip of your fingernailsâ
Hearing that, Klaus tried various things and somehow succeeded in making the blade, scissors and etc appear. \nâŚTo Stefan the Butler of Steel, it was the blunder of a lifetime.
