Alvin was surprised by words with unknown meaning that come out from the Princess’s mouth.
Suddenly appearing in front of Marius, a beautiful girl robbed his eyes.
However, he quickly remembered the current situation and reflected on the words emitted by the girl.
“Were the words you were talking now in Famia’s language?”
In a music-like voice, words has been clearly transmitted.
While nodding Marius answer.
“Yes, it Famia’s language. What language do you all use?”
(NEETnote : From here Marius speak in formal polite way-kind-of-speak-and-tone or KEIGO in j.a.panese, I don’t know how to translate it to English. But I try my best.)
The girl murmured `As I thought`, and emphatically answered.
“Tarian`s language. Because here is the Tarian continent.”
Marius had thought `The scales drop from one’s eyes`.
Rather for not considering this possibility, he felt a need to curse his past self.
Anyways, as long as there was another party he can exchange words with, he was pleased.
At the same time, here is the world that stayed-true to FAO and has been confirmed, Marius was surprised by himself for not being shocked.
It was already his intention, the feeling `as I thought` always won.
(NEETnote : `The scales drop from one’s eyes` means `be awakened to the truth`, Sachi from Grisia no Kajitsu favorite words.)
“I only learned it by chance, the others cannot speak in it. I ask for your understanding.”
“Aah, rather I’m saved even if there is only one person I could speak to.”
That is his true feeling.
Only by gestures how far can the meanings be conveyed? He felt insecure.
Even having only one person who can exchange the same words, it was something to be grateful for.
“By the way, may I ask who is the lady I am speaking with?”
“I’m sorry for my late introduction, Princess of Firat Kingdom, My name is Loviesa.”
Since he was born, never had he ever seen a beauty like this person. The white dress she wore, blue necklace that shone in front of her chest, and in a glance he already knew they were luxurious goods.
Her wording and behavior also elegant. Behind her there is a maid, a woman with the appearance indeed a reflection of one and above anything, she was guarded along with a ruler of a kingdom.
Anyways, he already got a greeting from Princess of a kingdom, for him to not yet answer her greeting was not a good thing.
He took off his hood, deeply giving a bow.
(Black hair?)
Began from Bernhard III, everyone firstly took interest with color of Marius’s hair.
The magician was more younger than they thought and had the rare black hair and black pupil in this continent. Furthermore his unshaven beard also left an impression.
“Please to meet you, my name is Marius Touban. Please call me just by Marius.”
“Certainly, Marius-sama. For the help you gave us, thank you very much. On behalf of everyone, I would like you to accept our grat.i.tude.”
Lead Loviesa, everyone began lowering their heads.
Looking from the side, it was very comical. After all, besides her, words cannot be conveyed, so there was no other choice.
However, ‘more younger than I thought’, was their shared understanding.
Speaking of a magician with tremendous power, unconsciously they would thought of an elderly person.
Of course, it was maybe only a secret of eternal youth.
Not knowing what they thought that, Marius smiled.
“No, no, when in trouble it is normal to help each other.”
Seeing the other party lowering their heads, unconsciously he returned it by lowering his head too, perhaps it was vestige before his reincarnation.
Looking at Marius’s consideration, Loviesa chuckled and laughed.
“Regardless, having such power, yet keeping a humble demeanor, I’m extremely impressed.”
(NEETnote : 謙(へりくだ)った物腰 if somebody understand what author mean by this, please tell me.)
It seems there was some grand misunderstanding, but because it was a favorable atmosphere, Marius did not feel like correcting it.
On the contrary, taking an uppity att.i.tude as natural was much more better.
“Well then, I would like to introduce our side.”
First, Loviesa introduced her father, King of Firat Kingdom, Bernhard III.
A man in his prime with a crown.
Golden hair, golden beard, eyes filled dignity was his impression.
His height around Marius. In original world, it was about 175 centimeters.
Followed by the maid, Emma.
Short chestnut colored hair, from the cool blue eyes shone a light that suggest a strong will .
Perhaps, around 160 centimeters.
Then the bodyguards Leader, Alvin.
Pale blond hair, big muscular man with blue eyes.
Whether you look he about 190 or more.
After that Joshia, Hans, Raymond, Hogan, Eric, Peter, Simon, Stefan, and nine people from Theodora.
Time it right after Loviesa finished her introduction, Berhard III open his mouth.
“More than here, I want to decently give our thank by invite him to royal palace. Loviesa, ask for Marius-dono convenience.”
Hearing it from Loviesa translation, Marius can’t just go without thinking it.
(Want to say his was not a lie, but he must be want to put his hand on me as his chess piece.)
Finishing opponent that bodyguard had struggle hard in instant, it strange if he not doing it.
However, where Marius in now, he doesn’t have connection and knowledge in this world, that why it doesn’t hurt if someone willing to become a backing.
If he can have communication with royal family, it can be said that best result.
(Whether this person doing good government, is the problem.)
It can be said it was vestige from his original world, inevitably he worry about it.
It not a problem if he was a good rules, as long he doing good politic he maybe willing to cooperate.
However, if he was a type of tyrant or foolish ruler, he really doesn’t want to get along.
(Based only by now, without actually looking for the kingdom, nothing can be said.)
Even thinking it nothing clear can be seen.
Marius temporary stop his speculation, opening his mouth to peoples that waiting his answer.
“Excuse me. I’m one without culture, unknown to courtesy nor manner. Doesn’t know one like me could spending time at royal palace without being rude, it make me uneasy.”
Even with dubious face, Loviesa doing her interpretation.
Then, telling him her father answer.
“It’s a shameless thing seeking that far from our lifesaver. Moreover, known from Marius-sama speech and behavior, we already know the word barbaric was far from it.”
Loviesa stopped for a moment, then continuing her word with some heat in it.
“I also had a same opinion. By all means please come with us.”
Said until here, Marius didn’t feel there something bad in it.
However, the possibility that Loviesa paraphrasing, did not stuck up with att.i.tude of the ruler that easily lower his head.
Considering his power, he didn’t self conscious if he feel want do so.
He didn’t considered as the one that use power in strange way, but it better to not letting his guard down.
Thinking so Marius nodded.
“With that words, let me respectfully receive it.”
Hearing Loviesa interpreter, the relief tension was drifted from King and his va.s.sals.
Marius was not a opponent that they can invite with force, but he also not a presence that can be leaved as it is.
“By the way, how could we go there? It seems all the horses had been done for.”
Actually he can use resurrection magic, it possible to revive the horses.
But, treatment to resurrection magic in this world was unclear.
That way until their side bring it up, Marius that thought it better to keep silent asking them the question, to that mischievous light float from Loviesa eyes.
She talk it to Raymond, he giving proudly laugh, then he place his right hand on the ground.
When he chant something in murmur, his right hand emitting dazzling light, several black shadow appear from it.
When the light disappear, the black shadows getting bigger, it become a solid thing, in the end it become horse-type living creatures.
“This is summon-technique(Summoning)…”
Leaking voice of Marius, Loviesa firmly heard it.
“Did you know it. As espected.”
To Loviesa that smiling as admiring him, he return a vague nod.
Honestly, he can stop his surprised feeling.
If he did used it in againt Wyvern, didn’t it will greatly change the battle situation, that what he thought.
To Marius, Raymond giving a himself self-ridicule snort and muttering something.
“It’s good if I can employing strong summon-beast(Servant). Such a shame. movement and reconnaissance was already my limit. That why I’m doing Witchcraft(Goetic) and Second-job(Double).”
According to Loviesa, there is such job.
He relieve there exist a familiar word such Witchcraft(Goetic), the fact about second-job(Double) making him impressed.
“Only by using second-job(Double) for movement and reconnaissance already amazing. I, no I even summon-technique(Summoning) itself couldn’t use it.”
(NEETnote : the first I, he use ‘Ore’ and the second one he change it to formal one, ‘Watashi’.)
When saying something comforting him, Loviesa and also Raymond opening their eyes like unexpected it.
It often to misunderstood, but summon-technique(Summoning) and magic are totally different system.
Marius can’t use summon-technique at all, he also can’t exchange-intent with monsters and wild-animals that called as essential thing to Summon-pract.i.tioner(Summoner), that why he can’t have a familiar.
As long as he didn’t have second job like Raymond.
If he doing that kind of “Detour”, having status like he had currently was impossible.
It’s unreasonable for Loviesa that weak in magic didn’t know it, but Marius didn’t thought summon-pract.i.tioner(Summoner) like Raymond also surprised.
Did he give impression can do everything that far, that make Marius and his power, given other people over-correction impression.
“Those thing, right. Doing every thing alone, was a hard thing.”
With Loviesa muttering, Raymond also like convinced giving a nod.
Then Berhard III opening his mouth.
“O Raymond, I’m sorry, about this precedent and also about guest, I want to convey it to royal palace, can I ask that?”
“Yes, I will immediately put out a familiar.”
Once again putting his right hand on ground, casting a spell and bird-type summon-beast showing itself.
Seeing a black, on-par with adult-size appearance Marius remembered it.
“Black owl…?”
“Did Marius-sama know Black owl?”
That small muttering voice is heard by Loviesa, moreover she interpreting it around.
Raymond spoken like impressed by it, was heard.
“If it Marius-dono, as expected can defeat it alone. In my case, I need to borrowed the kindness of two knight. After all, for magician an agile Black owl was a presence close to natural enemy.”
By the word interpreted by Loviesa, Marius as best as he can do is to hiding his astonishment.
Summon-beast(Servant) that Summon-pract.i.tioner(Summoner) using was creature he defeat and subdue, or given cooperation after a dialog, which one it is.
It not surprising if Black owl defeated and contracted.
Result of probing it secretly, Raymond level is 60 shown.
Second highest only to level 78 of Alvin.
Can be said there is a comparability problem of Raymond, but suddenly said needed two vanguard was unbelievable.
(Unexpectedly there is a shift in level…)
Until where it did, he doesn’t know, he decided that it better to not carelessly speak about it.
By the way, the third highest was level 57, Emma, Bernhard III was level 30, Loviesa was level 16.
Look like two of royal family unskillful in fighting.
“Indeed it’s speed was troublesome.”
It’s a hard atmosphere to say that it was convenience opponent for magic practice, he politely reply.
“You to humble.”
Smiling Raymond say so, and once again begin grumbling and muttering.
He make his summon-beast(Servant) to remember the content of message.
When Raymond close his mouth, the familiar flapping it feather, from Marius view it flying to his upper-right-side.
It must be the direction of royal castle.
Black owl had some degree of intelligence, make it possible to grow as familiar.
“Well then, Marius-sama, please proceed to carriage.”
“Eh? Are you sure?”
Marius with Loviesa offer, unconsciously react that way.
Because he was invited to royal palace, it a matter of course if there is some degree of physical courtesy.
However, behind closed door of carriage, situation where royal family and stranger sitting facing each other, he began wondering is it okay to accept it easily.
To perplexed Marius, Loviesa pretense didn’t see it and smiling.
“Of course, because Marius-sama was important guest.”
Even he sense danger of trick, if time come by he will think something out, according to Loviesa offer Marius got into carriage.
