our location in Ashford kingdom is also not far away I think.
Anma village with 300 population located at the outskirts of Ashford kingdom.
the land here is just cheap in value.
Frey reluctantly bought Mauro's nearby land.
it was vast but the land was dense and was sold at a cheap price.
so I think we are safe here.
our nearest Neighbor is a mile away.
their home was also as small as the house we were staying in with two stories and a small basement.
I looked at our nearest neighbor's house as I weeded the potentially useful kind.
I did not notice that I was close to an embankment.
I was shocked because I suddenly collapsed and fell to its depth.
im getting careless i just thought.
I did not look where I was stepping.
ouch ..
It's refreshing because there seems to be something wrong with my personality.
not the other me before i got reincarnated.
I never used to be like this.
I take pride in my being very careful.
I have changed a lot since I was reincarnated in this world.
[what's that smell? It seems so familiar. ]
I searched and identified the source of the familiar smell.
[these are lavenders I can't go wrong. they are between an embankment and it seems that they only grow here in this part.]
I took a few samples along with other herbs whose structures and capabilities I did not know.
I eagerly went home.
[here you are master. what did you bring?] Alisha
[environmental weeds. That i saw nearby, i thought they might be useful so i bring them here]
I showed the lavender to Alisha.
Alisha stared intently at the lavender.
[there is nothing different about that grass. just like any other grass you hold.] Alisha
I had something more to say when suddenly the three of them entered the door. they came from the forest not far from where we lived.
Norabele, Aerin and Erina.
[tedious search without finding] Norabele
[you say more.] Erina
[maybe no one gets caught because they're exhausted] Aerin
the three of them looked at each other as if surprised.
[what's up] Norabele, Erina, Aerin.
[I just wandered around looking for something that could be usefull and brought them home and here are the weeds that I just think we can use.]
[I'm good at that. if you don't ask I studied herbecide and I know wastes in usable] Norabele.
Norabele seems so confident in her skill.
I don't wanna argue with it so i remain silent for a while.
Not that they're right but argument was not my typical nature.
[true?] Aerin, Erina, Alisha.
[As i told you! you just brought garbage here master] Alisha.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
the four of them laughed and they were mocking me.
am i getting bullied by them. how sad.
[well of course. Just give me a moment and I'll take it away from your sight ]
[That's not what i meant. Don't get the wrong idea] Norabele
[ Fine.]
i just pretend I'll throw them away.
They seem so ashamed but i just ignores what i seem it was.
Assuming they're ashamed.
Sigh.
to do that i must go outside.
fortunately they didn't follow me.
if only I could use my ability again.
in my present condition.
I just look ridiculous.
useless.
sigh.
I just want to be of use to them.
a week has passed but Dr Frey is still unable to return.
the magic bag has a (time seal) so even if we store food in the pouch for a lifetime, it won't rot. But there's no need for this weed they said to be stored at Erinas precious bag.
Sigh.
I used the backyard kitchen.
discarded bottles that I clean to make jars of these herbs. No weeds they said.
fortunately and I have not lost my unique taste.
if I could only use my (magic appraisal) the whole process wouldn't have been so easy.
if only I could get rid of this collar.
I know why I do this.
I'm bored because I'm annoyed with my situation so instead of sulking, I'm just entertaining myself by being busy.
until when?
[I'm home] Dr frey
I heard Dr. Frey's voice.
so I hurried to close the jar I had filled with lavender.
so I can preserve them because it's a pity if I just throw them away.
the plants came to life and I suddenly killed them just to throw them away and at the very least in this way so that they would not be wasted.
it's time to find out the news from Dr. i mean our instant grandfather.
I caught them talking at the table.
Everything was here and waiting for what Frey would say.
[is it good news or bad news?]
[both] Frey
sad expression on his face.
[Let's start with the bad news.]
[the bad news is.
_we all looked at him.
the bad news is that we in the Ashfall kingdom are treated as evil being. and they made up the story that you princess Alicia tried to usurp the queen's throne and you attempt to kill the Queen. Luckily the (Queen's shadow) came right in time to stop your evil intentions so you didn't carry out your plan to usurp the throne.] Frey
[oh. I don't think we can do anything about it. but isn't our appearance different in their eyes?]
[yes] frey
[Let's change the topic. let's get to the good news.]
[about that. the good news is. we have a brand new citizenship and new name tampered at civil registry. it's authentic so we won't have any problem from verification.] Frey
[where are for the University?]
[university?] Erina, Norabele
[why do I need fake status? when I jump into (pillar registry) to hide my whole being.]
[you mean you will tamper the result?.] Erina
[not exactly.]
[you mean what?] Norabele
[I have made fake results so that in case princess Alicia's name appears in the real result she can easily exchange the real one for the fake one.] Frey
[did you get what we mean?]
[can't you figure that out?] Erina
[I'm making sure that paper is authentic made of (magic thread) the paper used there and same as the original so there won't be a problem.] Frey
as Frey spoke he handed over the fake birth registers one by one to them.
Erina- Rina Elway Ruphert
Norabele- Nora Elway Ruphert
Martha- Maha Elway Ruphert
Lia- Lina Elway Ruphert
Jane- Anne Elway Ruphert
Michael- Ekael Elway Ruphert
Mauro- Lauro Elway Ruphert
Frey- Rey Elway Ruphert
Frey and I come out with the naming process. So that everyone will not make mistake mentioning our fake names.
Aerin and Alisha don't have citizenship because they're Rhupert servants.
Servants here don't need anykind of registration.
Servants discrimination.
according to the authentic fake registry.
Ruphert recently added as a Noble that has a possession of 1 million gold coins.
to recognize you in any kingdom as a Noble.
you must first have 1 million gold coins.
in other words do we have wealth?
[ is that right?]
[well it's easy to tamper with a letter but I'm nervous because I made a mistake in writing. pardon] Frey
we all looked at each other because we didn't know what he meant
[ehem I think it's because of gold possession. in the coming gathering of Noble novices they will bring the wealth as well as their clan for recognition.] Mauro
[meaning we have to bring the amount written on the day of the gatherings?]
[That's right] Mauro.
[when are the gatherings of the Nobles?]
Frey's face was pitiful.
[two weeks from now on] Mauro
Everyone just quietly listening to everyone except martha and Jane calming Frey down.
[ two weeks? during Dr. Frey's time he probably had that amount right?]
hearing the doctor made him cry even more as if scared.
I brought my face close to his.
[don't you just say you don't have money?]
based on his reaction it really doesn’t have that amount.
eh where did all his money that he worked hard for while he was still a doctor of the Avantika's go?
[I used my money for payment as we all registered. I thought he would charge me cheaply but he took my life savings. if I don't follow him, I might be reported and not be able to come back here, which is also one of the reasons why it took me so long to get back here right away. Please forgive me.]
it's bad.
it was as if I knew my destiny as everyone focused on me as if they were going to eat me alive.
ehh ..
It's all coming back to me.
I am at fault.
sigh.
[ehhh ahhh. okay why do you need a million?]
they still glare at me.
[a million gold coins are just payment for the title that Frey signed to become a Noble.] Mauro.
[I just want to be known as a Noble I don't know that this is the outcome. Im sorry.] Frey
meaning Frey wanted to be among the judgmental and utterly capricious creatures that lived on the surface world.
[i feel sorry for you but can you just cancel it?]
Frey started begging for forgiveness. I can see in his eyes. His very desire to be a Noblekind.
[cancel? you are to blame so he is bankrupt then you say just cancel it?] Norabele
[you should be the first to understand his situation but I think you're still torturing him] Erina.
I was shrinking in their sight.
while Lia eats meat tendons from monsters she picked up from the plate in the middle of the table. She didn't seem to care about the conversation.
I know what to do.
[ okay okay. it's my fault. sigh. I have thought of a way.]
after I explained the details we immediately had dinner while no one wanted to break the silence and then we went to our respective bedrooms.
tomorrow everything will be exciting.
my sorrow will be gone.
