I’m an Appraiser, But What the Heck is a [Divine Eye]? ~I Want to Live Freely as the World’s Best Beginner Class~ - Episode 232: Hot Springs, Hospitality, and Trouble 31

Episode 232: Hot Springs, Hospitality, and Trouble 31

Indeed, at this stage, setting up a teleportation magic circle is quite simple.  

In fact, it might even be possible without relying on Moriya’s power.  

With my Appraisal and Reina’s Erudite, and combining our two skills along with her techniques, we could draw the teleportation magic circle. And when it’s activated, Dietrich-sama can trigger it.  

However, why is it necessary to set it up?  

I had thought about it earlier. But at the moment, the Adelreed Kingdom isn’t at war with any other country.  

As royalty, there may always be the possibility of assassination. But even so, it feels like there’s no urgent reason to set it up right now.  

As I was thinking this, my eyes met with Dietrich-sama’s. And he smiled lightly.  

“Maki-sama, please don’t think too deeply about it. The teleportation magic circle we’re asking for is simply so that we can visit the Onsen District for sightseeing whenever we want.”  

“…….Sightseeing, you say?”  

“Yes! That’s exactly right!”  

……….Well, if His Majesty also mentioned it, then it must really be as simple as that.  

“…When I said I’d want to be deployed here, you were so angry about it.”  

“The weight of words is different when coming from His Majesty or the Knight Commander.”  

“Th-That’s obvious!”  

“…….Wait, does this mean that, as His Majesty’s guard, I can come along too?”  

“And that applies to me as well!”  

Hey, you two.  

Shouldn’t you be discussing that in whispers?  

…Oh, right, this *is* a private discussion.  

“As for the guards, there are people we left behind at the castle. Especially Vice Commander Narssen, who knows the situation. So we should bring him along as well.”  

“W-Wait, what about me, Your Majesty?”  

“Sometimes, you should let your subordinates take the spotlight, don’t you think?”  

“…W-What a situation.”  

Don’t worry, Knight Commander.  

“Well, as long as you do well with the guards, it should be fine. What do you think, Alicia?”  

“Yes, I don’t mind. But if possible, I’d appreciate it if you could come incognito. If it’s known that His Majesty is visiting, we might attract unexpected visitors.”  

Unexpected visitors…  

Perhaps assassins or spies from other countries?  

“Of course, I intend to do just that.”  

“Then let’s decide on the teleportation place of the Onsen District for now. The location for the one at the castle can be designated when we return.”  

With that, Alicia and His Majesty started discussing where to place the teleportation magic circle in the Onsen District.  

With nothing to do, I approached Leyreina-san, who had managed to get back at her father.  

“Leyreina-san.”  

“Yes, Maki-sama?”  

“You got back at your father, but how did it feel?”  

I thought she might not feel all that great about it, but—  

“I feel so relieved! Thank you so much!!”  

“O-Oh, I’m glad to hear that.”  

She seemed much more relieved than I expected….. no, more than I imagined.  

Her smile is dazzling!  

“This is all thanks to you, Maki-sama, for creating that opportunity! I really appreciate it!”  

“No, I didn’t do anything. It was Dietrich-sama who wisely selected Legelico for the inspection team. And it was your own abilities that shone in that situation, Leyreina-san.”  

“Even so, I still wanted to thank you….And, if it’s not too much trouble, could you also pass my thanks to Dietrich-sama? I have to thank him as well.”  

Ah, I see.  

In terms of their position, it makes sense.  

……..Wait, though, how about my position?  

I’ve been talking to both Dietrich-sama and His Majesty like it’s nothing.  

……Well, I guess it doesn’t matter anymore.  

“Got it. I’ll speak to him later.”  

“Thank you so much!”  

Later, after the teleportation magic circle’s location was decided, I spoke to Dietrich-sama and let Leyreina-san offer her thanks.  

Dietrich-sama actually apologized for not realizing it sooner. But he told her that any future actions here would be under her personal royal orders. And that if the Maguire family had any complaints, she could easily dismiss them.  

……Was it just me, or did Leyreina-san’s expression seem quite girlish during that exchange?  

“…Well, she’s a noble’s daughter, so it’s not so bad, right?”  

Maybe I should take the chance to ask Dietrich-sama later if he has anyone good in mind for her?
