Darphy, who grew twisted by his rivarly towards Sophia, and Dante, who couldn’t be honest with his feelings, quickly packed up the luggage and finished preparing for the journey to the Sanctuary.
「I’ll leave the territory to you then, Darphy.」
「……I can’t say to expect much, but I shall try to do my best.」
「Okay, good luck, Darphy. Stay well.」
Darphy looked unconvinced a s Dante looked extrely pleased. After the father and son who were of conflicting feelings parted ways at the front of the mansion, the carriage Dante rode began its journey to the Sanctuary.
The process of changing heads was handled swiftly, and it did not take long for Dante to depart once more for the Sanctuary.
While waiting for the process to finish, Dante was busy preparing for the travel.
The carriage driver was the sa as the previous ti, and the guards escorting were adventurers again.
House Sylphide also had a few knights, but they were so few in number that it was difficult for them to leave the territory. As such, while he had hired adventurers the last ti, Dante was even more reluctant to employ their knights because he was no longer the head of the family.
Adventurers were hired by way of the Adventurers Guild to deliver the succession paperwork to the Royal Capital.
Incidentally, at the Adventurer Guild Royal Capital branch of Yggurle Kingdom, escort requests to the Sanctuary were extrely popular. The requests that would stay in the Lodge at the annexed area were especially wanted even if the commission reward was low.
「Still~ We highly appreciate that you hired us yet again, Boss.」
「Seriously. Boss’ request lets us get inside, after all.」
「Not at all, familiar faces ans I won’t have to worry.」
The escorting adventurers today were the sa two Elven adventurers from the previous ti.
The Elven adventurers were mainly active within Yggurle Kingdom, but ever since Wedgefort City was established as well as when the Trination Alliance built Valor, the fortress city near the Sanctuary, there was an explosive increase in escort requests from Yggurle Kingdom.
If it had been the old Savage Lands to the south of Yggurle Kingdom, a duo escort would have been difficult, but perhaps influenced by the Sanctuary, or if it was the large scale monster subjugation by adventurers and knights, the rate of monster encounters had vastly decreased.
「Master, thank you for taking along with you.」
「Volt, you’re okay with this? Immigrating with .」
「Yes. As we are married couple without children, it is our long-cherished ambition to be of service to you, Master, and Madam.」
「Indeed so, Master.」
「Thanks Vault[1] , Luna.」
There was only one change to the mbers in Dante’s carriage. It was that the carriage driver was not the only servant on this trip, he and his wife had also decided to immigrate to the Sanctuary.
Dante had absolutely no intention of freeloading in Takumi and Sophia’s house.
He wasn’t going to say that he didn’t consider accepting being taken care of, but it was far too much for Dante to live in the sa house as his son-in-law and keep freeloading.
And so he proposed taking Vault and Luna to take care of their needs as a reason to live close to Takumi’s house.
Luckily, Vault and Luna gladly agreed to accompany him, and after many years of serving the family in the motherland, they were going to follow them into the Sanctuary. Dante was nothing but grateful. As to why, Freesia helped with the farming, but she was devastatingly horrible at housework. Sophia’s lack of skill with things that weren’t fighting were rooted from this.
In the first place, Vault was aware of how delicious the food was and how nice the bath felt in the Sanctuary Lodge, then feeling the vast difference in quality of life upon returning to his daily life in the Sylphide Territory, he began feeling bitter about it. So, when Dante’s immigration to the Sanctuary ca up, he was willing to do anything and everything to accompany him.
Well, the Sanctuary where the Great Spirits had manifested was undoubtedly a special place to the Elves, and they truly did want to live there.
There was no need to hurry, but the carriage boarded by Dante and the others ran on a strict schedule and finally arrived at the gate to the Sanctuary.
Naturally, the Demon Horse exhausted. And so, while the two adventurers were supposed to return to Yggurle Kingdom with the carriage, they had to rest for a while before doing so.
Passing through the barrier, the carriage stopped in front of the Lodge at the dejima area, and there, Takumi ca to et them. Without even noticing the perplexed look on his face, Dante ca leaping out of the carriage and yelled in a loud voice.
「Etoile! Etoile! It’s Gramps!」
「D-dante-san Etoile is waiting for you at ho! She didn’t co here!」
The impression that Takumi had of Dante was smashed to pieces by none other than Dante himself.
