Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 48.3

“Yuto… today is the last day I can call you so casually.”

“Huh, why is that?”

“At tomorrow’s memorial service in the castle, your appointment will also take place. When you become a marquis, you will be of higher rank than me. From now on, I will have to call you Lord Kirikaze.”

“That’s…”

I was about to say that such things don’t matter, but in this country, the class system is strict.

In public places, it would be inappropriate to call someone of higher rank by their name.

“It feels odd to be called Lord Kirikaze suddenly. Please call me Yuto as usual during private gatherings.”

“Is that alright?”

“Yes, please do so.”

“I understand. I am happy to have gained a friend named Yuto.”

“I, too, am grateful for my encounter with you, Ekkels-sama.”

“Let’s continue to rely on each other.”

“Yes, likewise.”

Even if I attain the position of marquis, my personal connections are almost nonexistent.

The people in the first prince’s faction will likely be my allies, but those are Alberic’s connections, not mine.

If I get carried away and incur resentment, I don’t know what kind of situation I might be driven into.

Until I build a solid foundation in this country and this world, I must not forget to be humble.

Upon returning, switching places with Ekkels, Ms. Umino and her group had already provided the second queen Charlene with esthetic treatments.

Unlike Japanese esthetic salons, they don’t use various equipment but only perform treatments using their own magic, so as long as there is a bed to lie down on, treatments are possible.

“That’s right, I’ll give you a treatment too, Kirikaze-kun. Tomorrow is an important ceremony, isn’t it? Why not freshen up your face?”

“Uh… I’ll pass.”

“Why? You don’t trust my magic?”

“Not at all, if it weren’t for you, Ms. Umino, I might be dead. There’s no way I wouldn’t trust the magic of my lifesaver.”

“Then, why?”

Ms. Umino puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction, looking a bit cute, but I tightened my expression since Araseli was watching.

“I think the people around are mostly going to be middle-aged knights. If I stand out among them, I’ll just look even more baby-faced.”

“Ah, I see… Indeed, if our magic improves your skin condition, you might look even more baby-faced.”

“Right? And in the afternoon, I’ll be riding a tank and paraded around the city… I’ll ask for it another time.”

“Well then… I’ll treat Araseli-san instead of Kirikaze-kun.”

“Huh, me?”

Araseli’s eyes widened at the sudden nomination.

“Yes, because you’ve been protecting Kirikaze-kun, getting covered in dust and wounds every day, right?”

“That’s my job.”

“But we’re really grateful for something we couldn’t do ourselves. And with our magic, your skin will be smooth and plump.”

Wow, Araseli’s skin is becoming plump… You definitely should get it done.

I pleaded with my eyes, nodding repeatedly, and after a sigh of exasperation, Araseli accepted the treatment.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to observe the treatment, nor confirm her post-treatment skin, but Araseli didn’t seem entirely displeased.

Alright, let’s heal my body quickly.

Blood, I need blood.

Bring on the food!
