Borussia's Dawn
Borussia, the capital of the Dextrin Empire, is also praised as the largest city on the continent.
This place is a center for art and design as well, where artists and young people gather to create one trend.
Some nobles even built a villa here and live in Borussia.
I think it's excessive, but nobles are sensitive to trends.
Anyway, this is where we arrived in the capital.
"Young master, wake up."
Yesterday, we rented one room in the hotel upon arrival and slept in it.
Kyle mentioned separate rooms again, but I lightly ignored it.
I think the separate rooms convenience was enough during the trip.
"Huu..."
"The sun has already risen. Even though we've come to the capital, it's too much..."
"Wake up, then stop."
"Yes."
Anyway, the real first day in the capital has begun.
The debutante is in three days, so today and tomorrow, we can enjoy sightseeing happily.
"Yawn... ha... Miss Sophia."
"Yes, young master."
She yawned once and called me, Kyle.
Today, he was wearing a shirt.
Instead, the weather here is warmer, so why didn't he wear clothes last time?
"Don't go out immediately today, but slowly eat breakfast and walk around."
"Understood."
It doesn't matter.
Since we didn't have to make reservations, we can just wander around slowly and sightsee.
It's the type of tourism where you go and see things.
Probably no experiences or such.
"Then, shall we go eat breakfast?"
One good thing about coming to the capital with Kyle.
That is...
"It tastes good."
Unlike usual, being able to eat food with Kyle.
Usually, I had to watch Kyle's meals.
But now it's not!
Since we had to walk with Kyle, we could eat together with him.
Thanks to that, we can eat three meals a day!
"As you said, young master."
As expected, the food in the capital was of a different quality.
The food from Eristirol Castle wasn't bad, but it couldn't compare to the capital.
It was just ordinary sausage, egg fry, salad, but it was enough to make my mouth happy.
Moreover, I was looking forward to how delicious the other foods would be.
"Young master, here..."
I stabbed a sausage with a fork and handed it to Kyle.
"Eat one more. I'm done with this much."
Not eating much was good in this regard.
I could give Kyle food without it being a big deal.
Kyle said thank you and ate the sausage I gave him while eating the remaining breakfast.
I looked at Kyle's appearance from the opposite side and thought.
He eats so deliciously.
"Young master, how is it? This is the Borussia Cathedral, one of the specialties of the capital."
"Hmm..."
Kyle and I did sightseeing.
Due to regional characteristics, the north doesn't believe in religions other than their own.
It might be because the flow of people coming from the north was less in the past.
There was religion in the north too.
There weren't big cathedrals, but there were small buildings for prayer.
In that sense, this grand cathedral would be surprising to Kyle's eyes.
It's enormously large.
A cathedral subject to being as large as Eristirol Castle.
But that doesn't mean Eristirol Castle is small.
Instead, it was among the larger ones.
"Impressive."
"Yes."
But it was definitely large.
Since the roof was built as a dome, it had a slightly strange feeling.
Normally, such buildings had a pointed feel.
"Hmm... It might be good to build a prayer hall of this size in our territory too."
Hmm..
It didn't seem bad to me either.
Our territory is large and we have some money, so instead of having several small prayer halls, building one large building might be good.
"Young master, if you build it without thinking, it won't do. Just because the territory people believe in the same religion as you doesn't mean they like such a large prayer hall."
"That's true."
Of course, I thought such a large building would be good.
Anything is better than small.
"The interior is not bad either. It's flashy."
"Um... is that so?"
To Kyle who lived in Eristirol all his life, it would feel that way.
But.. this much is moderately flashy.
When going down to the south, there are many lords who tear taxes hard and build extremely flashy castles.
The Borussia Cathedral was a building that mixed appropriate flashiness and beauty, and design for religion very well.
"Hmm... Next, it might be good to go to other regions in the south as well. There are many things to see there too."
Of course, Kyle's status is status, so it might be a bit difficult.
If they know a prince of the Grand Duchy suddenly comes to their territory, they will definitely be scared.
I would too.
"Ah, by the way, weddings are often held at the cathedral."
I said it because I had nothing to say.
Since outdoor weddings are common in Eristirol, Kyle probably didn't know.
"A beautiful cathedral hall, the bride wears a pure white wedding dress, and the groom wears a stylish tuxedo."
It's definitely different from Eristirol.
More precisely, it's different only from Eristirol.
When I went to see a wedding five years ago because my close maids were getting married, I was slightly surprised by the different culture.
The wedding was in summer, so it wasn't really cold, but having a party outside was shocking to me, who had lived under the north for 18 years and spent nearly 20 years in my previous life.
Northerners seemed not to feel the cold.
To be sure, I asked another maid next to me.
"Have you always had weddings like this?"
And the answer was yes.
So, even in winter, they do it outside!
Thinking about wearing a wedding dress and having a wedding in winter made me think it would be too cold to die.
But since northerners are adapted to the cold from birth, I was relieved.
After all, I wasn't getting married, and it was just a thought to worry about people.
"In many ways, Eristirol is different from other regions and surprising."
"... I see."
"Yes, that's right."
And then sightseeing started again.
We wandered around mainly things like the huge Brutenburg Gate or Borussia Grand Museum that we could see right away.
Anyway, tomorrow we have to start preparations for the debutante.
We also have to try on the clothes we brought again and manage our condition.
Kyle doesn't like uncomfortable clothes, but he would understand to that extent.
The debutante is an important thing even in Kyle's thoughts.
"Young master, how was today's sightseeing?"
"... It was fun. As Miss Sophia said, it's definitely different. There were things to refer to in our territory too."
"If you say that, I'm grateful. After the debutante is over, let's look around at even better places."
There were still a lot to see in Borussia.
Borussia was an enormously large city, so of course.
For example, shops that could be called department stores, zoos, etc., there were many.
Kyle would probably enjoy it too.
By the way, Kyle's face has been red from the beginning.
It started exactly when we were at the cathedral.
I asked in the middle if it hurt, but he said it didn't hurt.
"... Young master, are you really okay?"
So I asked again.
The debutante is in two days, so if he catches a cold, it would be really dangerous.
"No. I'm fine. It's just because I'm thinking about something."
What was he thinking about that made his face blush.
Um....
"Did you have lewd thoughts?"
"What?!"
"If you're thinking and your face blushes, there's only one reason."
Upon thinking, Kyle is of age now too.
He must have properly opened his eyes to the world.
So, was that why he was taking off clothes with Elin last time?
The excuse of being hot might be the real reason.
"I understand. Since you're of that age too, young master, lewd thoughts are natural."
"No, that's.."
"Do not commit bad deeds by not holding back. As I warned last time, men must be careful of three things."
"I've heard it several times already, so it's fine. So, let's stop talking about that for now."
"Yes."
It's okay to have lewd thoughts, why are you so embarrassed?
When I was that age, how many strange thoughts I had.
In this life or previous life, really many.
Of course, the target wasn't a specific person.
Rather than focusing on people and imagining, I guess I focused on the act and imagined.
There was no one around to do it, and due to reincarnation, there was a sense of rejection.
"At that age, everyone does it. You don't have to think too strangely. I was also that age, so it's really normal."
I reassured Kyle.
Some kids at that age thought lewd things were bad.
Even if others told them, they thought that way.
Lewd things are not bad.
Rather, they are good.
"Haa... stop..."
"Yes."
Of course, our little one seems not to understand it properly yet.
When I have a wife later, I wonder if I can do it properly with her.
