The airship that's arrived in the capital of Marquis Ganika's territory is met by the next marquis and the chief nobles.
This is probably because I'm accompanied by Princess Shistina.
Since this is our first city, I'd have liked to tour it with everyone, but we had to participate in the tea party sponsored by the marchioness until the evening banquet.
I gave the usual snack sets and magic-made glassworks as the souvenirs.
Since Marquis Ganika is a sailor, I had prepared a glasswork modeled after big caravel ship.
It was not hard to do since I only imitated the real thing. I picked it since I thought it'd probably look better than some glass sword.
"Oh! I have never seen such a meticulous glasswork even in Oyugock Dukedom. Wonderful! Truly a wonderful item! With such an item, I cannot return the favor without giving back our heirloom, the Sea King Five-Pronged Spear or the Twin Sea Dragon Wand."
It seems Marquis Ganika really liked it, he told a joke that made his wife and retainers to lift their eyes.
According to the tourist book, the Sea King Five-Pronged Spear that he mentioned seems to have the effect of flinching the widely distributed sea-type monsters in addition to being effective against them, so it's an indispensable item for the fleet.
The Twin Sea Dragon Wand is a magic wand that acts as auxiliary for water magic, it's a key item for using the forbidden water magic [Divine Tidal Wave].
There's no magician that can use forbidden magic in the territory of Marquis Ganika but there's a lot of local water magicians here, so the item is an object of yearning in the territory.
"--Dear?"
"It's a joke of course. I will give my youngest daughter to the Viscount."
"Your excellency, if you joke too much, the snake king will change to the dragon king you know?"
"Princess Shistina is well-informed with our tradition. You guys, learn from her highness--"
I was hesitant what to say back to the marquis who was reminded by his first wife, but as usual the princess dealt with it before I could talk.
The 'you guys' that the marquis said are probably the daughters of his relatives who are in this place.
"Viscount-sama, what kind of place is the labyrinth?"
"Her highness, what kind of music is in fad in the royal capital?"
"Sera-sama, I will enter the temple apprenticeship next year. Would you tell me about the temple?"
When the marquis withdrew for governmental affair, the girls let out a barrage of questions like surging waves.
Most of them are asking the princess but since the princess has no interest in music or clothes that are in fad, they change the target to me so I don't even have time to drink the tea.
Every girl looks so happy, but there's one with a gloomy face.
She's not the marquis's daughter, but his niece, a daughter of an earl.
She's 15 year old, her physique is good and her shoulder-length hair leaves a lively impression. Her level is 10, her skills are [Water Magic], [Ship Handling], and [Etiquette].
"Nereina-sama, are the sweets not to your liking?"
"No, they're wonderful sweets that I've never tasted before."
I tried to talk with the earl's daughter in question, but since her nuance felt like she was annoyed, I stopped trying to talk with her in the tea party.
