Start from the beginning
                                    

「Ahhh... Ummm... Well, kidnap me and demand for ransom to shave off the power of our house?」

「If that is the case, Then why do I have to get involve with you, I can make you faint and just take all the money inside the mansion. If it's cutting power, then killing you is not good, instead it will be weakening the head of the and letting you succeed it. Well I guess there is also the choice of replacing you with someone else to get rid of your family's power by changing it inside out. But I didn't do any of those so I am innocent.」

「Wha...wha wha what are you talking about, you!!」

「As I have said, I would take everyone down here even using only a wooden sword, why would I waste my time using such a gaudy looking sword not fit for combat to use. It would only be a burden, the materials used for it and it's not even that sharp, also the balance is bad, it can only dent a common steel helmet, isn't that something like a treasure? 」

The soldiers that surrounded me listened to my story. Once on started to laugh, everyone caught up in it and can't stop. At first it sounded like a small radio, now turned into a loud sound.

「Damn it, why are you people laughing!! Don't make fun of an aristocrat as myself!!」

「That adventurer will be your sword instructor」

「Haa!?」

Ohh, he's confused. Perhaps he didn't hear of this request from his father?

「What did you say you were!? Are you really going to be my instructor? 」

「That is what they say, you didn't know?」

It seems that he didn't believe it, but as for me, I'd like to speak with the lord soon to finally start the request. I talked to one of the soldiers surrounding me to guide me along.

The young man who has been out for while picked up his sword and followed us. He probably plans to sneak attack again but I wish he would just stop it this time.

After entering a study room, the lord who seems to be working raised his face and greeted us. He looks like a kind old man in glasses.

「Are you the one who received the request?」

「Yes, my name I Aidle」

「I see, I am Dabble Cotoise. I have heard rumors about you, please have a seat. Oi, please prepare tea.」

「As you wish, master」

After saying that, the maid in the corner of the room went out. His son is probably waiting next door so please be careful.

「Well, the request is about teaching my son swordsmanship, but have heard about my son?」

「I was assaulted when I entered the hallway hitting the soldiers head and declared that I was an intruder to be punished...」

「... ...」

And the air froze. Then beyond the door, I heard a crash. Oh Father-san turned pale. It's okay, because I didn't really do anything.

「Well, fortunately, every soldier that responded believed my testimony, so they never really did anything. Don't worry. I won't really do anything to the first son of nobility」

「... ... sorry about that.」

「It's fine, so I would like to confirm the details of the request, but there's also something else I'd like to consult with」

「Well, let's hear what you'd like to say」

PoV Son of Lord

「Fuck, what on earth are they talking about?」
