The Tale of A Man Who Believed That His Reincarnation Had Granted Him A Japanese Sword And The Greatest Battle Sense, Only To Have The God Finally Inform Him "Huh, I Didn't Give You Any Combat Sense… That's Scary…" - Episode 7

“Moo-ho-ho-ho! I’ve heard from my daughter! You must be the boy, Enri, who saved her from those filthy bandits! Moo-ho-ho-ho! Ah, thank you so much! I am Logias Grosvenor! Call me Lodge Dad! Moo-ho-ho-ho!!”

“Oh, no, I haven’t done anything significant… Huh, Dad? Why Dad?”

“Moo-hoo-hoo-hoo! I’ve heard from my daughter that there’s nowhere for her to go! If that’s the case, would you mind accompanying her as her attendant from now on? This is a request from Lodge Dad!”

“Well, that’s just perfect, but…”

I received a horse from Ridge Village, and after traveling for about a day, I finally arrived at a place called Lainchester, where Lyra-san lives. Of course, since I had never ridden a horse before, I asked Lyra-san to handle the reins and such.

Passing through the simple checkpoint of Lainchester, going through the fountain square, along the nicely paved cobblestone road that seemed like it belonged to the wealthy, we arrived at the mansion that looked like it belonged to the wealthy—Lyra-san’s family home.

And now, the slightly chubby old man with curly white hair who is holding my hands and laughing heartily in front of me is apparently Lyra’s father. By the way, when Lyra came back, Logias was crying so much out of joy that I thought the floor might get flooded. To be honest, it was a bit flooded.

Although Ms. Lyra appeared unscathed on the outside, Mr. Logias, worried, said that she was going to the best healer in Lainchester for a check-up. Logias told me with a hearty laugh that it would take two or three days for her to return.

“According to what I heard from my daughter, Enri-kun is not familiar with common sense or the town because he grew up in an isolated place. So, until Lyra comes back, let’s assign a maid to him for now, hey!”

While we were discussing future matters in a place that resembled Mr. Logias’s office, Mr. Logias called out towards the door. Then, we heard a voice say “Excuse me,” and a woman entered the room.

“Did you call for me, sir?”

“Oh, Utsuho. Over here, over here, this boy is the one who helped Lyra. We will welcome him as a guest of the Grosvenor family starting today, so please take care of him.”

The person who came in through the door was a quite tall lady with bright green hair. She walked over to Logias, her shoes clicking on the floor, exchanged a few words, and then cast a glance my way. It was clear at a glance what her role was by her attire. She was wearing a classic black and white maid outfit.

In other words, it’s a maid! Yay! I’ve never seen a maid before! The maid outfit she’s wearing isn’t one of those cheap ones that café staff wear; it’s a real maid outfit with thick fabric that seems practical and durable!!

“So, according to my daughter, Enri-kun grew up in the great outdoors far from human settlements, so he seems to be unfamiliar with general rules and manners. Could you please teach him those things as needed?”

“Understood, Lord Logias! I will make sure to train this Utsuho thoroughly to become a wonderful man!”

“Ho ho ho, no one has ever said that much. Now, I have to head to the merchant guild meeting in the royal capital soon, so please take care of everything.”

After finishing the conversation with the maid, Logias-san skillfully packed his belongings and left the room with a farewell. Left behind were just me and the tall maid who was itching to instill common sense in me. Glancing sideways at the maid, I noticed she was breathing heavily and sending me a predatory gaze, as if she wanted to start a common sense study session right away.

“Hah hah hah♡… Nice to meet you, Enri-sama. I am Utsuho, a maid at the Grosvenor household. I have been assigned to be in charge of your ed-u-ca-tion♡.”

“Uh, um… n-nice to meet you.”

Five minutes later. I, who had been pushed into a guest room with the tall, breathless maid…

“Therefore, this city, Lainchester, is a very important commercial city for the Retain Kingdom, ruled by King Eldolt, Enri-sama.”

I ended up receiving logical and efficient lessons from Utsuho, the tall maid with glasses. I don’t know why, but I feel unsettled. Before entering the room, I was as excited as a large dog bringing its prey to its den, but the moment I stepped inside, I suddenly regained my composure.

“The Retain Kingdom holds significant influence across the continent in agriculture, industry, magic, and mercenary services, and even emerged victorious in a war with a neighboring empire just twenty years ago.”

Regarding this victory, special adventurers from the Retain Kingdom… Utsuho-san, with her glasses sparkling and a somewhat proud expression, is endlessly talking about history and culture, but I’ve been hit with a flood of words all at once, so I’m in a state of confusion. I don’t really understand what’s going on. It’s like when I was a company employee in my previous life, watching online training videos as part of my job.

Utsuho-san is keeping me almost confined in a room of a big merchant’s mansion, trying to cram more and more knowledge into my head.

According to Utsuho, this world has a variety of races besides humans, including elves, orcs, beastmen, half-dragons, fairies, and other creatures that seem like they would appear in a fantasy game.

According to Mr. Utsuho, there are various guilds such as the Adventurers’ Guild, the Sorcerers’ Guild, and even the Assassins’ Guild, which is not officially recognized by the kingdom. It seems that everyone dreams at least once of becoming an S-rank adventurer, the highest rank for adventurers, by making a name for themselves as an adventurer.

According to Mr. Utsuho, the Grosvenor family here is one of the largest trading houses in the kingdom, and is collectively referred to by the public as the Five Great Trading Houses, which include the Grosvenor, Ridgan, Walton, Nyetze, and Port families.

No, even if I were a student at the end of the exam war, I wouldn’t be able to remember all this history of another world being poured into me at once. Ms. Utsuho’s lovely mouth keeps delivering lectures on history and culture endlessly, but if I keep listening to these explanations, my body might just cut through the walls of this room and escape.

Glancing at the decorated rectangular window in the room, I see that it has grown dark outside, and I can hear the cheerful voices of people walking in the streets.

“Well then, Lord Enri, next we will discuss the past kings of the Retain Kingdom and their achievements…”

“Um… Utsuho-san! You’ve been explaining for quite a while now, so how about we take a break here? I think a change of pace would be good too!”

“Oh, really? I’m still full of energy, so I don’t feel much need for a break…”

“Oh! By the way, we came to this mansion right after entering the town, so we haven’t been able to see what the town is like! I’d really like to take a good look around the town!!”

I see… Even though she seemed a bit downhearted, Utsuho-san, having heard my desperate plea, temporarily stopped the history lesson. Then, she quickly tidied up the tools and textbooks she had used for my lesson, delivered a few messages to the other maids, and returned to me, saying this.

“Well then, Lord Enri, thank you for your patience. I will now guide you to Crown Street in Lainchester, one of the most bustling districts in the Retain Kingdom.”
