I announced as we walked into Thor's house and sat down in a chair in the living room.

'....Okay, get your forehead out and both of you.

"What?

"Punishment for abusing my name.

"Ew.

　When I said that clearly, Thor and Asmo blatantly frowned, and instead of showing their foreheads, they moved them away.

　If you don't offer it to them maturely, it's until we go to do it.

　I gather my magic with my fingertips while holding a deco-pin stance with my fingers. Then I made a small transparent sphere and flicked my finger and smashed it into Thor and Asmo's foreheads.

'Ouch!　What?!

It's like a shock...

　Thor and Asmo moaned as if the bullet had hit their foreheads.

　This is an elementary level of magic called non-magical shockball. It is something that compresses magic power into a sphere and then unleashes it. I've never used it before, but it's surprisingly useful.

''Speaking my name and skipping out is a bit much,''

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

　Speaking the name of a nobleman is a bit beyond the line of being a bad boy, I think.

　As expected, Thor and Asmo also apologize honestly, whether they have a sense of that area and are reflecting on it or not.

　It's kind of weird to see these guys apologize honestly. They must have been scolded quite severely by Murat and Dorothea.

　I don't mind that much, but the Slowlet family will have to punish you if you do that much to them.

'Well, I wouldn't mind that much. If you're going to do it anyway, don't let them find out.

'Oh, oh!　Speaking of which, Al!　My lord said that this year's harvest festival is going to be a nobleman!

　As I shake off the heavy air with a mischievous smile, Thor leans in and asks me.

　I see that the reason you called me here today is because you want to hear more about it.

That's right. 'Yes, I will be coming from the Silfords, the Leengrande's and the Misfits.'

'Oh, wow!　This is the first time you'll see us noblemen!

Yeah, I guess so.

Hey, wait a minute. A highborn would have that right in front of him.

　Thor and Asmo laugh cheerfully when I butt in like that.

　This isn't a joke or anything, but it looks like they're rather serious about it, so it's scary.

''So, what kind of nobleman is this coming?

One of them was a guy about our age, Eric--

You bastard!　I don't give a shit about men!　It's about your daughter!

　I tried to introduce Eric to him just for starters, but he got mad at me. Apparently, he doesn't care about the bastard, he wants to ask about girls.

　This feeling of desperately trying to find out about girls.......the air of a starving high school boy.

　Well, if I were in the opposite position, I'd be curious if the daughter of a warlord were to come to the village. My sister, Sister Elinora, can't be counted as a daughter-in-law.

　If I said that, Thor would probably bite me, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

''Yes, yes, a lady. Then there should be three of you coming over.

　I say, thinking of Mrs. Luna, Alecia, and Ra-chan in my head.

　Natasha is a Mrs., so I wouldn't mind excluding her.

'Is she pretty?'

　This time Asmo asks me with a serious look in his eyes.

　If it's Rah-chan, I can immediately answer that she's cute, but I don't think it's right to describe Luna-san and Alecia as cute. Those two are beautiful types.

''There's one extremely pretty one and two beautiful ones.

Oh!

　Hearing my words, Thor and Asmo look at each other and rejoice.

'Al, we're best friends, right?'

A friend of my best friend is also a friend of ours.

　The two of them come around to us and squared their shoulders.

　These guys are probably asking me to introduce them to their daughter-in-law.

''I'm ... sorry, I'm thirsty.''

Fruit juice!

I'm gonna need some nibbles.

Come on!　It's fried crew beans with salt!

　When I gave my order, Asmo brought fruit juice, and I wondered if Thor had prepared some knives.

　Did they have a meeting beforehand?　That was a totally lean move.

　We ate fried crew bean with salt while watching them.

　The unique sweetness of the cucurbit bean is perfectly matched with the salt sprinkled on it. It's just the right amount of salt.

　Once you eat one, you can't stop reaching for it again.

　If there is ale here, it would be a really good snack. I really regret that I can't drink alcohol.

　After eating the polyps and crew beans, my mouth started to feel dry, so I drank some fruit juice.

　Then a nice sour and sweet taste passed through my mouth.

'Shall I give your shoulders a rub next?'

Or maybe even a leg?

　As I say this, Thor rubs my shoulder and Asmo kneels down and rubs my calf.

　Oh, Thor and Asmo's habit is surprisingly good at it. Because they are so good at it, I could tell that they are used to doing it on a daily basis.

　While receiving a massage from Thor and Asmo, I was deeply aware that those skills are essential for a younger brother in any family.

　Being taken care of by these guys any longer would only make me feel empty because of my circumstances with them.

'I understand how much you miss the two ladies...'

'　Well then.........!

　I utter a commanding voice, and Thor and Asmo give me an expectant look.

'I don't know if I can introduce you to all of them, but I promise I'll introduce you to the prettiest girl in the world.

　I don't know how Alecia and Luna will act. They could normally both stay with sister Elinora all the time, and I don't know if I can introduce them to Thor and Asmo.

　But if she's the cutest little girl in the world, I should be able to take care of her.

　The truth is, I don't want to fit in with these two people who seem to be bad for Ra-chan's education, but I can't blame them for asking me to go this far.

　I don't know why I wouldn't want to talk to a pretty girl or a beautiful person if she's around, either.

''That's Al!　For the first time, I'm glad I'm your best friend!

You must have been a nobleman after all, to be able to introduce a pretty young lady to me.

　Can we stop introducing them, after all?　And my best friend.

You can leave the escorting to us, you know?

No, that's my job.

It's not fair!　Give it to me!

That's the advantage of being a privileged aristocrat.

　If you let these guys escort you around, it's not going to be a bad idea.

''I was just wondering, with the aristocrats coming this year, is it going to be the same as usual?''

Hmm, he's thinking about that. Father Nord said he'd like to keep his guests occupied.

　After all, there are two difficult dukes this year.

　With the child Ra-chan and the mature Alecia, they might bore you with an ordinary harvest festival.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Of course, I can keep her occupied if I want to, but that is by playing indoor games such as reversi and Jenga, which have nothing to do with the harvest festival.

　And that's not really the point of coming during the Harvest Festival, if you ask me.

　You're going to be able to enjoy the advantages of this village like Viscount Dole.

I see. It would be nice to have something new to do!

'Yeah, I guess so. If it's the same every time, we get bored too.

　By the way, the annual reversi tournament will be held again this year. But, for a child who is bored with it, he wants as many new things as possible.

"Well, I don't know what's going to happen, but if you're going to do something interesting, let me know.

Okay.
