Chapter 324
Chapter 324
On that day, the Second Order's accommodation was full of talk all morning about the reasons relating to the fact that all the Knights had been summoned in the daytime.
In the lobby on the ground floor of the accommodation, the various tribes had gathered and were still talking in a lively atmosphere.
'Alma. I knew it, I knew it... If all of us have been summoned, then maybe we'll get some kind of reward or something...'
I wonder ...... what Ovelia wants to get as a reward."
"I think ...... she wants the right to order from the cafeteria, or some money".
"Certainly, if you can get 'money', then a reward might be possible."
The two people speaking particularly energetically were the two members of the Rabbit Tribe, whose voices echoed through the lobby.
Mia, of the Cat People tribe, spoke to them with a dumbfounded look on her face.
'Hah ...... you guys, Master Rid is certainly kind, though. I don't think Diana and Capella will give you a 'reward' like that. I bet it's a new mission, training or ...... experimenting with new magic or training if it's not good enough. Hey, Lady, Elm. Don't you think so too?"
Mia said this and looked towards where a girl and a boy from the Cat People tribe were sitting on a sofa enjoying a card game with cards.
They answered Mia's question without stopping playing.
'Well, you know. I'm fine with anything as long as I can keep my life the way it is now.'
'Haha, I'll leave it to Mia and Lady.'
Elm is a bit reserved and a little angled towards Lady, who answers in a matter-of-fact manner.
Ovelia, who was watching the situation, smiles.
"From my perspective, tough missions and training are also a reward. Especially when it comes to experimenting with new magic and training ....... I'll be the strongest in the Second Order."
At the same time as her confident voice echoed around the area, a figure suddenly appeared behind Ovelia.
'...... can't hear that you're the only one who's going to be strong.'
'What the hell, Lord Bear. It's unusual for you to be involved.'
She is momentarily perturbed, but looks back behind her and makes a frightened gesture when she recognises him to be the bear-man tribe's Kalua.
But he does not pretend to mind her gesture.
"I just want to be strong too. So you see, I don't want to let you slip away.'"
'You're still as hard as ever, Lord Bear. ......
While Ovelia and Kalua's conversation echoes through the lobby, the similar-looking girls sitting a short distance away and watching their exchange are the Aria sisters of the Bird People tribe.
In the midst of this, Cilia asks towards Aria.
'Hey, sister Aria. What do you think today's convocation is about?"
'I wonder. I don't know, but I didn't feel uncomfortable about it."
Aria replies, and Elia, who was nearby, nods in agreement and joins the conversation.
'...... yeah. As sister Aria said, Capella, Diana and brother recently didn't give me a bad impression. Rather, the brother was kind of huffy,......?"
Elia says this and looks around the lobby.
That's how concerned they are about the contents of the instruction to call everyone together.
At that time, the voice of Sheryl, a member of the werewolf tribe, who had entered the lobby, rang out.
'Master Rid will be here soon. Capella-sama has informed me to move to the main meeting room. All of you, move quickly.'
At her single voice, the beastmen tribe responded and reacted respectively.
And. The beastmen children present stand up from their sofas and move to the main meeting room.
◇
'Fara. This is the accommodation where all the members of the Second Order of Bardia live.
'Wow. ...... This is another magnificent building.'
As soon as I had finished showing Fara and the others around the new mansion, I took a carriage to the quarters where all the beastmen lived, in order to introduce them to the Second Order.
And now, Farah is letting out an exclamation of admiration at the size of the lodge in front of her.
As if following her voice, Asuna nodded her head.
'As expected of the Second Order's accommodation. From inside the carriage, I could see that both outdoor and indoor training grounds are splendidly equipped. It's wonderful that you provide an environment where you can concentrate on your training and duties day in and day out.'
'Ha, this place is also a trial facility where we will eventually establish various 'study houses'. We're trying to keep it somewhat large in scale.
...... Various 'learning centres'?"
While talking with Asuna, Fara tilted her head, as if she had a point of concern
'Hmm, that's a long story, so let's talk about it some other time. More importantly, today I have to introduce Fara to everyone in the Second Order.'
When I said this, she huffed and nodded with a little tension in her expression.
'Ha, yes. Yes, I understand.'
'You don't need to worry so much. Well, there's a part of them that's too energetic, but the beastmen are all good kids at heart.
After answering with a reassuring smile, I took the girls to the main meeting room.
◇
When I moved to the main conference room, I found that the children of the beastmen were already there in full force.
Looking around, they do not look as anxious as they did when they first arrived here.
If anything, they look confident.
Maybe the work we do as the Second Order has given them confidence.
I stood in front of everyone and smiled while thinking about this.
'Hey, everyone. I'm sorry for the sudden gathering. I have someone I want to introduce to you today."
While receiving the attention of everyone's expectant eyes, I clears my throat as if to hide my embarrassment.
Then, calling Fara forward, I begin to introduce her once again to everyone in the Second Order.
'She came to the Bardia territory from the Kingdom of Renalute as my wife. She is 'Princess Farah Renalute'. I think you'll have a lot of opportunities to see her from now on, so please take care of her.'
When I say this, I look at Farah and smile.
She nods, then emits a dignified voice towards the beastmen children.
'Nice to meet you all. I was introduced to you by Master Rid, I am the first princess of the Kingdom of Renalute, Fara Renalute ...... or 'Fara Bardia'. I have the good fortune to become Master Rid's wife, and I would like to ask you to take good care of me."
When Fara finishes, she bows to them with a bow.
At the same time, there was silence in the main conference room.
Shortly afterwards, Fara looked up and smiled at the beastmen children.
At that moment, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee⁉" was heard from all the beastmen, who were astonished.
When they were a little confused by the unexpected reaction, Ovelia of the Rabbit Tribe said, "May I?" and quickly raised her hand. and then she quickly raised her hand.
Although I had a bad feeling about it, I cleared my throat and asked her if it would help settle the situation.
"'Well, what's going on? Ovelia."
'I am aware that the lady over there has become Master Rid's wife ....... But what about your capabilities?'
"Is ......?"
This time, the unexpected words make me pause.
But Ovelia, with a grin on her face, continued on with her story.
'Ha, you know very well. The beastmen value 'power' above all else. As Master Rid's wife, I would assume that you have the right kind of 'power'. ......
'Oh, ...... Ovelia. You say that again ......."
When I shook my head in dismay at her words, Fara took a step forward and nodded her head.
'No, I think she's right too.
'Heh......?'
She nodded vigorously at Ovelia's words with a twinkle in her eye, and I was taken aback by her words.
