モンスターパニックもベイナードとの闘いも終わり、やっと無事に屋敷へと帰還して一息つけたレオルドは、自室に篭り、今回の件で思い出した事をマル秘ノートに書いていく。
マル秘ノートとは、レオルドが持つ真人の記憶から思い出せるだけの知識を記したノートだ。
基本的にはエロゲの攻略知識しか載ってない。あとは、中途半端に持っている現代日本の知識だ。
レオルドが活かせるかどうかは不明だが、脳内で保管しておくよりもノートに纏めておいた方が便利だろう。
ベイナート戦で魔法が効かなかったことには驚いたが、理由が分かればどうということはない。単なる自分のミスに過ぎないからだ。
まあ、レオルドがレジストをされる可能性を覚えていたとしてもベイナートには勝てないが。
レオルドは思い出したことを一通りマル秘ノートに記載すると、一息入れてマル秘ノートを厳重に隠した。
ちなみにこのマル秘ノート、レオルドの部屋を掃除している使用人にはバレている。ただし、内容があまりにもぶっ飛んでいるので、そういうお年頃なんだと思われ、生暖かい眼差しを向けられている。
しかし、そんなことは知らないレオルドは今日も呑気に食堂へと向かっていた。食堂からは食欲を刺激する香ばしい料理の匂いが漂ってくる。
テーブルには既に料理が並んでおり、後は主人であるレオルドを呼ぶだけとなっていたのだろう。レオルドが食堂に来たことで使用人達が一瞬驚くものの、すぐに仕事へと戻る。
もう慣れたのだろう。呼ばなくても勝手に食堂へと来るレオルドに。
「ギルはどこに?」
「執事長でしたら執務室におられます」
レオルドは席に着き、料理へと手を伸ばす。一つ、一つ噛み締めるように料理を楽しんでいるとギルバートが食堂に入ってくる。
レオルドは口の中に含んでいる料理を飲み込んで、ギルバートへと口を開く。
「どうかしたか?」
「大変です、坊ちゃま!」
「おお、お前がそんなに慌てるとは珍しいな。何があった?」
珍しいものを見たとレオルドは笑いながら、次の料理を口にすると、ギルバートからとんでもない一言が飛び出す。
「国王陛下から呼び出しでございます!」
「んぐっ!!!」
ギルバートの言葉にレオルドは口の中の物を噴出しそうになったが、
慌てて口の中の物を水で流し込むと、レオルドは口を開く。
「私もそう思いましたが、旦那様からのお手紙と共にこれが」
ギルバートが懐から取り出したのは封が切られている手紙と封がされたままの手紙である。レオルドは封がされた手紙を見て、思わず目を剥いた。
「そ、その手紙に押されている
父上が絡んでいるということは間違いなく本物!
ど、どどどどどうしよう!
ギル!
お、俺はどうすればいい!?」
ギルバートが取り出した手紙は間違いなく国王からのものだった。封蝋に刻まれているのは王家が使うもので疑いようのないものだ。
しかも、レオルドの父親ベルーガが絡んでいる以上、レオルドに断るという選択肢は存在しない。むしろ、断れば今度こそ死刑である。
「なんで俺が呼ばれたんだ!?
まさか、今更死刑とは言わないよな!?」
「え? でも、俺は陛下にお呼ばれされるほどの功績は出していないが?」
「坊ちゃまは自己評価が低いようですね。坊ちゃまは魔法による多大な戦績を出しておりますよ。
それにゼアトの騎士を誰一人として欠けることなくモンスターパニックを終息に導いたのです」
「そこまで大袈裟ではないだろう?
俺は確かに魔法で魔物を大量に殲滅はしたが、モンスターパニックを終息させたのはベイナート団長率いる騎士団じゃないか」
ベイナート団長率いる騎士団も多大な功績を挙げましたが、ここゼアトにおいては坊ちゃまを上回る者は誰一人としていないのです。
もちろん、私もバルバロトもです」
「いやいや、そんなことはないだろう。バルバロトもギルも俺なんかより強い魔物を沢山倒したじゃないか」
「そうですね。しかし、求められるのは質より量なんです。モンスターパニックは。だから、その点で言えば坊ちゃまが一番なのですよ」
「そうです。ですから、王城へと向かう準備をしてください」
「え? 今から?」
怒涛の展開にレオルドは目を回す。しかし、止まっている暇はない。国王陛下からの呼び出しとあっては断れるわけもないので、レオルドは急いで支度を整える。
支度を整えたレオルドは馬車に押し込まれて王都へと向かう。ギルバート、シェリアと共に三人で、実に半年ぶりの王都への帰還である。何が待ち受けているのかレオルドには何一つ分からなかったが、もしかすると運命48の物語に触れるかもしれない。
ただ、そんなことは今のレオルドには知る由もない。
内心ビクビクと震えながら、レオルドは馬車の窓から外の景色を眺めていた。
(帰りたい......)
Ch 61
After the monster panic and the fight with Baynard were over, Leolde  finally returned safely to the mansion and re;axed ,  he holed up in his room and wrote down what he remembered about the incident in his secret notebook.
The secret notebook is a notebook that contains as much knowledge as Leorde can recall from his  past life memories .
Basically, it contains only game strategy knowledge. The rest is a half-hearted knowledge of modern world.
He dont  i  he will be able to make use of it, but it's probably more useful to have it in a notebook than to keep it in  his brain.
He was surprised that the magic didn't work against Beinart, but it didn't matter once  he knew why. It was just a mistake on  his part.
Well, even if Leolde  had remembered the possibility of being resisted, he would not be able to beat Beynert.
Leolde  wrote down everything he remembered in the secret notebook, took a breath and hid the secret notebook tightly.
Incidentally, this secret notebook is known to the servants who are cleaning Leolde's room. However, since the contents of the note are so outrageous, they think that he is at that age and give  it no mind .
However, Leolde is unaware of such things and heads to the dining room  . The smell of savory food that stimulates the appetite drifts from the dining room.
The food was already lined up on the table, and all  they had to do was to call  master Leolde. The servants were momentarily startled by Leolde's arrival in the dining room, but they quickly returned to their work.
They must have gotten used to Leoldo coming to the dining room on his own without calling  .
"Where is Gil?"
"The chief steward is in his office.
Leolde took a seat and reached for the food. As he was enjoying the food, chewing on it one by one, Gilbert walked into the dining room.
He swallowed the food in his mouth and opened his mouth to Gilbert.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, you're in such a hurry, master!"
"Oh, it's unusual for you to be so  gloomy . What's going on?"
Leolde laughed at the unusual sight, and as he sipped  his next dish, Gilbert said something outrageous.
"His Majesty the King has summoned  you !"
"Yuck!
At Gilbert's words, Leorde almost spewed out the contents of her mouth, but she almost managed to hold it back.
Leoldo opened his mouth as he hurriedly poured water down the contents of his mouth.
"I thought so, too, but this was ,along with a letter from Lord ..."
Gilbert took out from his pocket a letter that was sealed and a letter that was still sealed. Leolde looked at the sealed letter and couldn't help but peel eyes away.
"The seal on that letter is the seal of the royal family!
"I'm sure it's the real deal if your father is involved!"
"What should I do!"
"Gill!"
(What am I supposed to do?)
The letter that Gilbert took out was definitely from the king. The inscription on the wax seal was undoubtedly that used by the royal family.
In addition, since Leorde's father, Beluga, is involved, there is no option for  him to refuse. In fact, if he refused, he would be sentenced to death this time.
"I am unsure why i was summoned "
You're not going to say that I'm going to be executed now, are you?
"What? But I haven't done anything worthy of being called upon by His Majesty, have I?"
"You have a low self-esteem, don't you? You have achieved a great deal with your magic."
You've done a great deal of magic warfare, and you've brought the monster panic to an end without missing a single knight of Zeato.
"You're not exaggerating that much, are you?"
(I did destroy a lot of demons with my magic, but it was the knights led by Commander Beinart that ended the monster panic, wasn't it?)
"The knights led by Commander Beinart have done a great deal, but here in Ze'at, there is no one who can surpass you ."
"That includes me and Barbaroto, of course."
"No,I don't think so. no. Barbaroto  and Gil have killed many  monster he is stronger than me.
"Yes, .but what is required is quantity over quality. Monster panic. So, in that respect, you are the best."
"Yes. Therefore, please get ready to head to the royal castle."
"What? Now?"
Leolde 's eyes rolled back in his head as the story unfolded. However, there is no time to waste .  There was no way he could refuse the call from His Majesty the King, so he hurried to get ready.
After getting ready,  he was pushed into a carriage and headed for the royal capital. Together with Gilbert and Sheria, it was the first time in half a year that the three of  them had returned to the capital. Lelrde didn't know anything about what was waiting for  him , but perhaps he will be involved with the story of destiny 48.
However, the current Leolde had no way of knowing such a thing.
While trembling inwardly,  he was looking out the window of the carriage at the scenery outside.
