Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 40.1

“Yes. This one is for Arche-san.”

“Beryl-kun…! Thank you!”

With gratitude towards Cress-san and the others, each was given a present.

It’s unclear whether it’s for a short while or forever, but since we don’t know when we’ll meet again.

And lastly –

“Yes. Chester-san, this.”

“O-Oh.”

The vanguard, entrusted with the shield role, uses a large shield to attract the attention of magical beasts and endure attacks. Not only skills but also the performance of the large shield allows for a wider range of activities.

“Why such an expensive thing for me?”

“Why… Well, because you’ve always been helpful.”

“Me? I didn’t particularly intend to…”

“Well, maybe not directly from you, Chester-san, but because you worked hard, Amy-san and Arche-san are here. Thanks to that, I’ve also been helped in various ways. Also, please become stronger and protect your loved ones properly.”

“Th-That’s none of your business…”

“Chester-san? Instead of regretting letting go, cherish the present. Arche-san. I think she’s a wonderful person.”

“…Yeah. Thank you.”

Hmm, yeah. With this, that foolish couple should be fine.

After saying goodbye to Cress-san and the others, return to the mansion and spend time with the young lady and Rin.

Even so… Since then, neither the lord nor the lady nor the brothers have been seen. I don’t understand why they are so cold only to the young lady.

The next day.

The day to depart for the royal capital has come.

As expected, the lord and lady came to see us off…

“Chloe.”

“Yes, father.”

“The third son of Count Kuzeria will also enter the academy with you. He’s your fiancé. Make sure there are no misunderstandings. Fulfill your duty.”

“Yes… Understood…”

Duty… huh.

The lady has been constantly checking the lord’s mood.

The lord’s gaze shifted to me.

“I will definitely protect the young lady!”

“…………”

I received a somewhat cold gaze.

Is that so? Don’t interfere. Are you just going to protect her?

First of all, it’s strange that I was appointed as the young lady’s knight. I’d like to know the circumstances around that… Well, I probably won’t talk about it.

Without watching until the end, the lord returned to the mansion, and the lady, leaving only “Chloe! Be sure to do it!”, chased after the lord.

Regaining composure, we all got on the carriage and left the large city of Emblam.

It takes an incredibly long distance to travel from the large city of Emblam to the royal capital of Gargancia, as much as twenty days.

Since it’s a game world, New Year’s Day isn’t a special day, but I’m getting tired of this hellish carriage trip from New Year’s Day. It’s a great help to be able to raise proficiency in front of the young lady and Rin.

“Speaking of which, Miss, you don’t get along with your parents, do you?”

Murmuring, Rin looks at me as if she can’t believe it.

Well, you know. Isn’t it intriguing?

“Does it look like that from Beryl?”

“Yes. We get along well at home~ We eat together, and my mom even cuts my hair.”

“I see…”

“Wait a minute, Beryl…”

“Rin. It’s okay. I had a hunch too. When we went out into town, I saw children holding hands and laughing between their parents.”

When Pochi put his head on the young lady’s lap, she gently began to stroke him.
