Mr. Nobu's Otherworld Chronicles Chapter 71

Chapter 71
Chapter 71 Master's Evaluation  

"And, father . Why did you bring me here?"

Ah, I forgot about Eleanor-san . That's right, mater . Why did you have to kidnap her?

"Oh right right . Eleanor, ya have anyone you fancy right now?"

"Eh? Eeeeeeeh, w-what are you talking about out of the blue!?"

Eleanor-san was in shock with the sudden turn of event . That really was out of the blue all right .

"Well you see, this Nobusada here is going for either a peerage or Rank S adventurer rank to make the young ladies at the feast back then his legal wives . So I thought, might as well use this chance to sell you on the lad . "

"Eh!? Is that true?"

She's looking at me with a slightly hopeful face, but mostly she looks like she can't believe it . I guess it's only natural . It's the kind that sounds like a big fat lie even as a joke .

"Yes, they told me that they were fine being concubines, but as a man, I would like to draw a clear line . I don't know when I will get there, but I fully intend to see things through . "

"So whaddya think, Eleanor? For someone who's always been cold with men, I feel that you've been getting quite enthusiastic these days . Fate allows, I'd like to see my grandchildren's faces y'see . "

"F-father!"

Eleanor-san is fidgeting with a reddened face . She's kinda glancing here . Is it OK to think that I might have a chance here?

"Besides, you're at that age already, if ya don't get married soon, guhwa"

Eleanor-san instantaneously took a stance before her straight right went into master's cheek . It's a nice clean punch with good weight in it . It's amazing how she could do it without master being able to react . Even though she's smiling, I know that it

did him good . I can see a demonic aura behind Eleanor-san . Wonder if I should say it out loud or not .

While I was wondering if I should butt in or not, she turned around and stared at me with a serious look .

"Nobusadsan . "

"Y-yes!"

My voice reflexively faltered .

"Is it true that you plan to get married with everyone?"

"It's true . Every one of them has given me their approval too . It looks like I'm greedier than I thought, I want to live together with everyone . "

I take a deep breath, put some strength in my abdomen, and psyche myself up .

"I like Eleanor-san too . I've been in your care ever since I drifted here, and I don't think I could ever repay you back . But I'll give it my all to make you happy to make up for the interest at least, so would you be with me?"

I told Eleanor-san how I felt while staring straight at her . It seems like she's ruminating about many things after hearing what I said . After a few seconds of silence that felt like dozens of minutes long, she slowly opened her mouth .

"Er, umm . . . I'm very happy to hear how you feel . "

Ah, this is the refusal route huh . Too bad .

"Um, since there's the matter about my father . . . do you mind if I don't live in the same house but be like a commuting wife?"

Eleanor-san who said that with upturned eyes and flushed cheeks looks really cute . I hug her as a sign of consent . She jolted at first, but then she relaxed and leaned herself .

"Yes, I don't mind . Thank you for accepting me, Eleanor-san . "

Just how long were we embracing each

each other I wonder . I heard a cough nearby, and quickly came to my sense .

"Aa, forgive me for interrupting you young fellows, but could we get on with the matter now?"

Amiral-san said so while looking at us with warm eyes . Of course he would, even I was wondering what came into me after coming back to sense . Sorry, for real .

""W-we're truly sorry""

"Fuhaha, yer' already in sync I see . Ah youths, how nice . Nobusada, I leave my daughter in your care . Also, let me see my grandchildren quick, you hear me . "

Master is totally unfazed .

"I-I'll do my best?"

"What's with the question mark . Still, I like that you're aiming high, but have ya got a plan?"

"Yes, for the time being, my goal is to conquer the dungeons here with the current members . Since Eleanor-san has her job in the guild, we will be going with four people and one tamed monster . "

Master played with his beard for a bit and then snorted like, 'fumun' . Ah, this is master's habit whenever he's lost in thought about something . Wonder if he's got something on his mind .

"Alright then, Nobusada . I've taught you the basics . Next, it's up to you to sublimate them into your own . From here on, I deem you a full-fledged pupil . Next, run up to that rank S or something else . "

"Y-yes!!"

"Umu, you guys can go back now, I've got a little chat with Amiral here . "

""Please excuse us . ""

The two of us excused ourselves from the guild master's office room together .

◆◆◆

After Nobusada and Eleanor have left,

have left, the two who've remained in the room toast their glasses . It's currently 10 AM . Totally in broad daylight .

"That little lady finally left her nest huh . You must be overcome by emotions no?"

"Well, she seems fully intend to stay in the house, I do not think it will change much . "

"Hahaha, it's obviously because she's worried about you . However, I'm surprised you valued that youngster so highly you would entrust him with the daughter you cherished so much . "

Amiral knows Eleanor since she was little . And how much love his best friend, Matda, had poured into her . Thus, he couldn't comprehend . Indeed, the lad is growing and getting rank up faster than your ordinary adventurers . However, it's not really that fast . And yet his best friend easily entrusted his daughter to the newcomer .

"That guy is probably going to be my last pupil . And can you believe this? It has only been a few months since he came to this city . After looking after him for a while, I noticed that he had real training only after he got here, y'know? And now, regardless of the fact that he had a collaborator, he went and destroyed an entire bandit gang . I'm really looking forward to what the future holds for him . "

"That's quite a high praise coming from you . "

"Oh and don't tell this to anyone . I'm telling you this here partly because I expect you to also deal with it when the time comes . The lad's talents lie more in magic than martial art . His mana amount is most likely the highest in this city . As far as I'm aware, he's got aptitudes for all four elements, and sacred magic . Even that much alone is enough to entrust my daughter to him . "

"Wha!?"

Amiral's expression changed due to the due to the shock . Matda continued on .

"And that's at the present stage . No doubt it will get even bigger as he grows . Can you imagine it? If we recklessly make an enemy of him . . . . Gramada would fall just like that y'know? And we'd absolutely have no way to fight back . You of all people should know just how terrifying fighting a long-range battle against magicians . I do think of my daughter's happiness, but it's also partly because I want her to support him to prevent him getting out of control . After all, he could probably learn strategic class magic by himself . "

Strategic class magic are magic that are cast by an entire division of magicians via a drawn magic circle . It demonstrated enough power to blow away a fort in the northern battlefield once .
Matda is not a man who would jest about this . He must have concluded that the possibility is there . After taking that into consideration, I could see why my friend would entrust Eleanor-kun . Well, we're talking about this guy here, so it's probably 20% self-interest, 80% for his daughter's sake . Goodness gracious, I might get more than I bargained for with the promise earlier .

◇◇◇

I talked to Eleanor-san a bit after we left the guildmaster's room . 'Please come to the mansion behind 『Shut-in Lamia』 tomorrow, I have something to give you' . Yes, nodded Eleanor-san as she bashfully smiled, "Please take care of me from now on . " Awright! I'm getting fired up with the dungeon conquering! I also asked Eleanor-san to register the party 『Izumi no Kami』 . Gotta wait till everyone is together for the final registration though .

Alright! Time to make a custom order . I've gone and measured everyone's sizes already with Discerning-sensei . Would be nice if they're pleased with it .
