Therefore we have to directly negotiate with the feudal lord.
For example, in this case, it will be about such things as the bequest of the expeditionary force, the things that belong to the soldiers obtained during the process of purifying the undead, the raw materials procured from the monster who came attacking and medical plants gathered in the Demon Forest.
How much, from all the things obtained, will we have to pay in the end?
Will the payment be in materials?
Will we pay a fixed amount of money after selling the spoils in Breitburg?
It was indispensable to negotiate such fine details.
“(Somehow I feel like doing it now as well, but…)” (Wendelin)
It is a ridiculous story for me, who endeavored in thoroughly exploiting the Savage Lands in his childhood a training in magic for quite a while, to talk about, but this is this and that is that.
Or I should rather say that this is my villainous part.
Even if I arbitrarily exploited the raw materials of prey and minerals in the Savage Lands, our home isn’t able to do something like punishing me for it.
As for why, that is because it is necessary to have evidence for proving the crime of theft.
Even if they dispatch an investigation team, my family’s home hasn’t the ability to prove my crime as they don’t understand where, how, and how long it was done.
People, who don’t even know how much has entered my wallet, couldn’t hand me over to the police for the same reason, even if they kicked up a fuss that I stole their money.
“…” (Wendelin)
“Ano, Wendelin-sama.” (Elise)
“I understand your sympathy. But, leave him alone for a little while, Elise.” (Erwin)
It seems Erw could also understand since his relation to his family was as complicated as mine.
No matter how much it was for the sake of work, it wouldn’t succeed if I were to go greeting my family that should have already abandoned me. I ended up having slightly depressed emotions about it.

“Haa…” (Wendelin)
“What is it? Are you that reluctant?” (Burkhart)
After teleporting, I stood in front of the Baumeister household’s mansion after a long time.
Honestly, I thought it would be fine, if I didn’t transfer because I forgot about such place, but the teleportation magic, having thoughtlessly trained it properly, was as successful as usual in spite of it being several years since I’ve been here.
Erw and me have almost the same situation.
As children who were unable to inherit the Knight household, we have gained a social status of being independent by being successful as adventurers.
Erw has renounced his family’s heirship at the same time he became an adult.
He obtained a large amount of money by unforeseen fortune, but since this a talk about a different household already, Erw’s family shouldn’t be able to demand something like support out of greed.
Since it has been almost a month after that hell-like labyrinth capture, you wouldn’t know what will happen from now on related to the speed of information spread and Erw was worried about this as well.
Conversely, how about my case?
Because the previous village headman, Klaus, tossed the outrageous bomb of me being the appropriate next feudal lord, I have abandoned my heirship as fast as possible.
Or rather, it was decided for me to abandon at the time of me receiving a new court rank by His Majesty.
Although I can only say that I entrusted it to the government office to deal with the practical formalities in a hurry at that time.
In addition, neither father nor elder brother said anything about this back then, it seems.
Saying that it seems like that is because I didn’t actually meet them as I finished it all with a letter.
