Chapter 16

Previous Summary: Maid "There's no way nothing will happen when the master and a meat-eating handsome man are alone in a room...!"

---

It has been a week since I officially received the Bonclay territory from the Duke. My life has been smooth sailing.

First, I got rid of the border and decided to rename the Bonclay territory to the Baybalon territory, as it was too complicated. When I did this, protests from Jaikef Bonclay's relatives came in, saying things like "You're too merciless!" But it wasn't a problem because Alicia and her cult members had kidnapped them. A few days later, they came back saying, "Long live Lady Rize! Compared to the heroic tale Lady Rize weaves, the history and name of our Bonclay family are nothing but trash!" They looked haggard, so I gave them some meat, and they ate it while crying. It was good for them.

Hmm, everything is really going well.

I've been gathering exiles, slaves, and beastmen, and the territory is becoming more lively. Food is also plentiful; I can turn a barren field into a wheat field in three seconds by scattering breadcrumbs. My recovery magic has grown a lot.

As for tax management, the Duke of Hohenheim is sending his smart subordinates, so I can leave it to them. He said, "They share the same ideals as us!" so I'm sure good, peace-loving people will come.

"…Well, what should I do next…?"

I think about it while rocking in my chair in the office.

Yes, now I am satisfied as a noble. It used to be tough, but now I have plenty of free time.

Ah, in this situation—why not seek a man's romance!? Since I'm young, it might be fun to go on a little adventure!

…There was definitely an abandoned mine in the neighboring territory.

It's said that a powerful monster, a 'Dragon,' has made its home there and hasn't been used for decades.

Alright, let's go and slay that thing!

If we were to infiltrate other territories' resource extraction sites, it would require a lot of procedures, but frankly, it's too much trouble. Besides, it shouldn't be a problem for a few people to infiltrate! Let's go! Acting on impulse is one of Rize's good qualities!

"I remember reading a story in a picture book. It was about a brave magician leading a priest, a warrior, and a swordsman to slay a dragon."

Let's follow that example.

So, the members to invite are…,

---

"―What, an invitation to slay a dragon!? I'll go, I'll go! Please take me, Alicia! Then, let's go straight to the bed!!"

"No, we're going to the abandoned mine now."

"Rize-sama, my mine is brand new!"

"What are you talking about?"

I invited Alicia, the silver-haired nun, as the priest.

I actually wanted to avoid her because she might talk about the greatness of God on the way, but now that most of the territory's residents are followers of the Demiurge religion, I'm afraid of rebellion. So, I should try to get along with her, the representative.

By the way, today is her ovulation day. I don't need to know such status.

While casually playing with Alicia, who is all over me, the second person I invited was—

"―What, slaying a dragon!? Please take me! To beastmen, dragons are the ultimate delicacy! Hundreds of people die each year just to kill and eat them!"

"What does it taste like?"

"Close to high-quality chicken!"

"Then why not just eat high-quality chicken…?"

I invited Ilyna, the golden-haired dog-eared beauty, as the warrior.

I'm not sure if she's a warrior, but beastmen have incredible physical abilities, so she will surely be useful.

Besides, we're bomb-making buddies. Let's stay friends!

As I thought this, Alicia said to Ilyna with a smile, "I've got an idea! Ilyna, please make a girl with Rize-sama! I'll have a boy, and we'll combine them to create Rize-sama!"

"…Rize-sama, shouldn't we cast a recovery spell on Alicia-sama's head?"

"I tried, but it didn't work. Alright, let's go to the next one."

With Alicia pressing her breasts against me and Ilyna blushing and sticking close to me, I went to invite the third member.

So, the last companion is—

"…No, Master. Why me…? Why not invite the head maid, Bell, and make it a harem party?"

"Hmph, are you jealous, Claus? …I need you. Please come with me."

"Master—no, Rize!"

I invited Claus, the cool and handsome head guard, as the swordsman.

I don't want to get tired of all girls. Let's deepen our friendship as men.

As we were shaking hands strongly—

"Y-You, Master! I'll go as the caretaker!"

For some reason, the head maid, Bell, appeared at high speed, panting.

Well, it's fine… but why does this girl have paper and a pen?

Well, whatever. Now the team is complete!

Thus, my grand adventure begins!
