Takeo and Alice would soon be reaching the Elvis home.

“Lady Alice, we’re a little late today.”

“Yes, since we stopped by the general store on the way.”

“No, we had already planned to buy some paper and pens on the way but then we went around sopping for things here and there, it took away a lot of time.”

“That’s right. Time flies fast when we go to the general store.”

Takeo and Alice smiled and walked back home.

They reached the Elvis house.

Fredrick was waiting at the entrance.

“Welcome back Lady Alice, Sir Takeo.”

“We’re back Fredrick.”

“Mr. Fredrick, thank you for your hard work. We’ve returned.”

“Everyone has finished their dinner ahead of the both of you and they’re in the living room/”

“Is that so?

Then we’ll eat first and then head to the living room.”

“Certainly.”

Alice and Takeo headed to the dining room.

Alice knocked on the living room door.

Once she received permission to enter, she opened the door and they entered in.

Grandpa Elvis, Fredrick, and Smith were sitting inside.

“Grandfather, we’re back.”

“Mr. Elvis we’ve returned.”

“Alice, Takeo welcome back.”

“Smith we’re back.”

“Young master Smith, we’ve returned.”

“Welcome back.”

Alice and Takeo took their seats.

Fredrick poured them some tea and stood back.

“Alice please give me Takeo’s report for today.”

“Yes.

I taught Sir Takeo how to ride a horse in the morning.

Getting on, walking, stopping, and getting off. We repeated the same over and over.”

“Hmm. Takeo, how was it?”

“I thought that the horse was big.”

“That’s a strange impression.”

“Yes, that really is strange Sir Takeo.”

“No no. For people who live with horses and around them it seems strange but it natural for people that don’t have exposure to horses.”

Takeo smiled.

“Is that so.”

Grandpa Elvis said.

“Anyway, I was impressed that I was able to ride it.

I was wondering what I would do if I wasn’t able to ride one.”

“That’s a beginning.”

“Yes.”

“After that, we went to the open space near the soldier station to practice the rifle.”

“Hoo, how was that?”

“Takeo was able to hit a tree that he targeted at a 50-meter distance with 36 shots out of 40 and I hit 8 out of 10.”

“Alice, you also tried it out?”

“Yes, it was interesting.”

“We went to the magic goods store after that and got some extra guns and bullets right?”

“Yes. It was negotiated that the rifles that were unsold could be bought along with the request to collect the bullets. We got 4 rifles.

And about 600 bullets.”

“When the manager of the tailor shop Ralph and Taylor from the magic goods store came over in the evening, Taylor brought a box along with him.

It has been placed in Sir Takeo’s study.”

‘Thank you.”

“Hm, how many do you have now right now Takeo?”

“I have 7 rifles with 2 undergoing remodeling.

I also have 740 bullets left.”

“What do you think will happen now?”

“There are 5 more in circulation.

This has been confirmed by the manager of the magic goods store so it’s almost certain.

That’s why I may get 5 more or worst case, none at all.

As for the bullets, anything between 0~300 is possible.”

“That’s good.”

“It’s better than I expected.”

“We went to the furniture store next and decided on the bed and furniture for Sir Takeo’s study.”

“Did you find something good?”

“Yes. I was able to sleep comfortably on the bed but…………..”

“Hn? What happened?”

“Sir Takeo? Why didn’t you touch the bed even once?”

“…………Ah? Come to think of it, I didn’t touch it did I?”

Takeo smiled.

“Yes. Was it alright that I chose it single-handedly?”

“I don’t mind. I wanted to find a bed that you are comfortable in, Lady Alice. That’s why I don’t have a problem.”

“By the way, the one I chose is a little stiff is that alright?”

“Yes. I would also have chosen the same from those.”

“Hmm, not a soft one?”

“What kinds of beds are mainstream here?”

“The aristocrats find soft beds grand and luxurious.”

“I see……..that’s why there was the strange soft bed for sale.”

“Eh? Strange?”

Smith asked.

“Yes. People don’t prefer soft beds where I come from.

It causes stiff shoulders and back pain.

The ideal is……..young master Smith, can you stand up?”

“Yes.”

“Please turn to the side.”

“Yes.”

“Smith turned to the side as told.

“It is ideal to maintain this posture.”

“EH?”

Asked everyone.
