Chapter 236: The Classmates of the Club

I teleported from the Cardiff Margrave territory to the Royal Academy in the Royal Capital.

When I teleported into the clubroom of the Southern Development Research Society, El, Luke, and Kate were there.

“Wow, Letty-san. It looks very good on you. I should have come in casual clothes too.”

Upon seeing us, Kate felt frustrated.

“Kate is fashionable, after all.”

“No, El is fashionable too. Aren’t you thinking you should have come in casual clothes as well?”

“I’m going to the summer training camp to gain combat experience, so my uniform is fine.”

I had also been asked by young Lord Luke to train El, who was found to be a Di-Magia.

Therefore, even though he said he wouldn’t send guards, he emphasized, “Please take care of my sister,” so I understood that young Lord Luke cares deeply for his younger sister, El.

“But even though Letty stands on the front lines, she is wearing such stylish clothes. I wonder if I should have more composure too.”

“I don’t intend to be composed. But I might just be used to fighting monsters.”

“Letty is one of the heroes who rescued the Woodpole territory, after all. I’ve also found out I’m a Di-Magia, so I will do my best from now on.”

“El, it’s fine to be fired up, but safety comes first.”

“You’re right, William-san.”

“By the way, is the luggage in the room our supplies?”

“Yes, Letty-san. There are various foods inside too.”

Several large wooden boxes were placed in the clubroom.

The Rinaldi Company is a major firm with strong ties to the food and beverage industry, so I’m looking forward to it.

At that moment, there was a knock on the clubroom door.

“We are from the Rinaldi Company; may we enter?”

“Please come in.”

When I opened the door, an elderly gentleman was standing there with some young men.

The young men carried several even larger boxes into the clubroom.

If I hadn’t expanded the clubroom, these wouldn’t have fit.

“Milady, this is all of the deliveries.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

It seems this elderly gentleman is someone who has taken care of Kate for a long time.

“William-sama, please take good care of the young lady.”

“Yes. We have members with high combat power gathered, and we are also bringing a squad of Golems this time, so please rest assured.”

I had also been told by His Majesty over the phone, “Please take care of Flora,” and just in case, we are taking along the Iron Golem squad led by Legato this time.

The elderly gentleman showed a gentle smile.

“So you treat even us, who are not nobles, with such courtesy. I had heard from the young lady, but you truly have a wonderful character.”

“Jeez, Grandpa, don’t say unnecessary things.”

Watching their exchange, I could tell that the elderly gentleman cares deeply for Kate, and Kate has a relationship with him where she can comfortably depend on him.

Kate is excellent, but she isn’t good at combat.

I renewed my resolve to pay close attention to her safety.

When I stored the supplies prepared by the Rinaldi Company using magic, the company people widened their eyes.

As expected, it seems the storage capacity of my and Theo‘s Storage Magic is different from other people’s.

By the way, it seems Kate tried to prepare the supplies for free, but my sister-in-law Francois firmly negotiated and properly paid for them.

That being said, looking at the number of boxes, it seems there were quite a lot of free extras included.

I had everyone grab the hem of my clothes, said goodbye to the company people, and then we teleported to the Royal Palace.

“Welcome, William-san.”

When we teleported to the courtyard of the Royal Palace, Flora and her maid Cecilia-san welcomed us.

“Wow, what a beautiful garden.”

“Ah, as expected of the Royal Palace.”

Kate and Col were looking around.

I was the same way just a little while ago, so it feels somewhat nostalgic.

Before I knew it, I had gotten used to visiting the Royal Palace.

Flora was wearing a white dress adorned with exquisite embroidery and a light purple wide-brimmed hat.

She and Letty were praising each other on how well their outfits suited them.

It seems it was a coincidence that they ended up wearing clothes with a similar vibe.

“It’s been a while, William-sama.”

“We’ll be in your care.”

Flora‘s twin guards greeted me.

“It’s been a while, Chloe, Layla.”

As expected, since Princess Flora couldn’t go to the undeveloped lands without guards, the two of them were coming along.

“Everyone, please take a breather.”

Cecilia-san guided us, and we headed toward a gazebo in the courtyard.

It seems we are using a larger gazebo today.

Several maids, who had appeared before we knew it, served us, and black tea and sweets were deftly laid out in front of everyone.

“Your Highness Flora, could this courtyard perhaps be…?”

El, who sat next to Flora, asked in a low voice.

“Yes, Elva-san. It is the garden my late mother used.”

“So it was true. I had heard it was cherished and outsiders were not allowed in.”

Flora showed a soft smile.

“You are all involved parties. Besides, I feel like my mother up in the sky will be happier if I bring many friends here.”

Apparently, Flora used to have her heart closed off in the past, but I have a strong impression of her as a bright and strong girl.

Watching Col, who was initially nervous but was now stuffing his cheeks with sweets saying they were delicious, and Kate, who was chiding him to stop because it was vulgar, a smile naturally came to my face.

I’m sure the late Consort up in the sky would also be delighted that Flora is spending such a lively and fun time.
