42 Schemings of a Loner
The female doctor of the Earl's House examined Eko and determined that, doe to overeating, her gastrointestinal activity declined and caused abdominal bloating, and symptoms such as mild dyspnea were present.
By following her instructions, she will quickly recover by resting in a comfortable posture.
Eko said "But it was a waste to leave the food there", almost like she hasn’t repented. Was it because it was that delicious? Or maybe some habit of cat-type demihumans? At any rate, it will be necessary for us to manage the amount of food she consumes. Eko becoming fat isn’t the same as a fat cat, since that will interfere with her main role.
Along with a "Thank goodness", everyone felt relieved for now.
After relaxing in a large communal bath, similar to those of a public bathhouse, I spent the night in a room that was nothing short of those of a luxury hotel.
-------------------------------
Next morning.
Breakfast was served in a buffet style, and then the final meeting was held.
According to what Yukari said, acquiring such a volume of Mithril Alloy enough to make a profit of over 30 billion CL will be tough. I'm not sure about the details, but what I have to do is quite simple. And it would be a nice bonus to earn that much valuable experience while in the Proline dungeon.
After the meeting was over, we had lunch with some important people. What we were brought were heavy, high-quality bento boxes. Silvia and Eko seemed to be also eating the same high-class lunch in another room at the mansion.
After that, we signed the contract and the procedures were finished.
"I’m looking forward to seeing you again, and everyone in Firstest."
The Earl had a beaming face. It's great he's happy.
After politely returning the greeting, we left the mansion.
"Will you go back to the town of Badgordo? "
As we prepared to leave, Forest-san called out to us. Apparently, he will be bringing us back. Furthermore, it seems he took care of our horses during our stay here. I can feel the fur of Seventh Teiō was getting slightly better. They really left nothing to be desired.
"Hey, what should we do now? "
"Hmm? What do you mean? "
"Well, you know, about sightseeing Leñador."
"I leave it to Master's discretion."
"Discretion! " (TLN: just as a side note, Eko tends to repeat the last word someone said when she answers most of the time)
"I'm fine with whichever you chose."
Seems like the girls aren’t really in the mood for sightseeing. Then, I guess this was enough.
"Alright, then, let's go bac...... eh? "
"Master? "
Then, it suddenly came to mind.
A feeling like I've forgotten something.
I wonder what was it...... hmm......?
"Well, it doesn’t matter, let’s go back home."
"――Hey, wait a moment! "
……Ah.
"I will go together with you all too! "
I completely forgot it. I forgot about the stubborn tomboyish Earl's daughter that picked a fight with me.
Forest-san, confused by her actions said "Young lady, that is...", to which Chérie just pushed through while saying "You're annoying! ", and got inside the carriage.
…………Eh, do I really need to ride with her? With this 'tsun tsun' girl? Half a day with her?
"This...... I am very sorry."
Forest-san looked at me with quite the apologetic face. I guess this is a daily occurrence for him......
"Master, what is the meaning of this? "
And for some reason, Yukari-san looked very scary. What did I do to deserve this?
"......For now, let's hop inside."
A huge sight leaked from me. And after giving up, I too boarded the carriage to go back.

An irritating man.
Father fawningly lowered his head to him and gave him a grand welcome.
I heard he was an excellent Spirit User.
Eh... is that sooooo.... hmmmmm.
I am the Earl's daughter, the youngest Spirit User ever. An A rank adventurer with a promising future. A super, super, super elite who uses an earth spirit. Even if you search the whole world, I'm the only one with this title.
Father, Mother, the guild, the nobles, the commoners, everyone has always complimented me.
……But despite all that.
I've never been involved is any "business" like that guy. I've never been useful. I've never been helpful to anyone. There's nothing resembling bustle nor liveliness around me.
All there is are comments like "incredible", just giving me praise. After that, people just leave as if to say I was neither beneficial nor harmful. Wrong, it's because of this personality of mine. Most likely, people are simply avoiding me.
Yes, I admit it. It's jealousy. I am jealous of that man.
That's why I called out to him. I figured that way I would understand the difference in our positions.
Spirit User, Second.
If I had to use one phrase to describe him, it would be "a strange person".
Always wearing an expression of composure. He never humbled himself just because I was the Earl's daughter. Neither was he hesitant. He was actually quite rude, never taking me seriously.
……Weird.
I feel something was wrong with me.
I should've been jealous, I should've been disgusted, but deep inside my heart I began to think such a foolish with him talk was 'rather comfortable'.
I wonder if friends are something like that.
He not only received my "harsh words", he even took them as a 'tsukkomi'. I never thought that would be so pleasant.
I felt like I was looking myself in a mirror, and started to think he might actually be really kind, if that’s the case, then......
……No, nonono. I'm being deceived.
This is probably that, I'm just being deceived by that kind mask.
That calmness and his attitude, I'm sure he's trying to make a fool out of me.
I'll never acknowledge it. If I accept it, I lose. Yes, I'll make him acknowledge me.
I'll make him understand. The difference in our positions, that is. Am I just going to let him get ahead of himself just because he signed a contract with Father?
I also have to make him respect me. He won’t be able to oppose the genius, Chérie-sama.
And then, and then......
