Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure



The next morning, a subordinate of the count came to meet me.

This subordinate had come with a letter from the count inviting me to see him.

Though it was called an invitation, it was actually more like a summon.

He had already put a time and place on the "invitation" and it seemed like everything had been set. The only thing left was for me to show up as commanded by the invitation.

But I didn't mind this since I knew that this was just how this went.

This was what I had learned from Nicole last night.

So I accepted the invitation from the subordinate and went to prepare.

I couldn't help feeling surprised by how accurate Nicole's prediction was. She had taught me about the different cutlery to use at a meal and the manners that should be shown at a meal last night. This was what had taken up most of the study session last night.

Now, the count was inviting me to lunch.

It seemed like what I had learned last night really was about to pay off.

As for whether I would remember it or not, of course I would remember it.

The old me might not have been able to do that, but the current me was different.

It had started way back when I tried to remember things from my old world and I was studying up on this new world. I found that there were many things that I shouldn't have remembered that were easy to recall and at the same time, I was able to easily memorize the things that I read about this world.

I didn't know exactly what happened, but if I had to guess, I would say that when the God of Earth sent me here, they must have given a buff to my memorization skills. That allowed me to easily memorize and recall things.

It was definitely a good thing being able to remember more things, but I also had to be careful showing off this ability.

Those with ability would be envied and nothing good would come out of that.

So when noon came, I headed off to the count's manor.

When I arrived, the guards didn't let me in right away. They looked at me with a strange look and even raised their weapon as if they were going to send me away, even though I had come in a fancy carriage showing that I was a noble.

The way that they looked at me, it was the same look of disdain that the townspeople had had back when I had first become a noble.

It had changed in the town, but that didn't mean that the way that other people looked at me had changed.

I still looked like a cute little boy instead of a noble, that wasn't something that could be changed unless I had plenty of time.

But I also had a sneaking suspicion that I would never change appearances…

After all, it had already been several months since I came to this world and my appearance still hadn't changed.

This world had many things that seemed to have been inherited from the game world and I was afraid that this was one of them. After all, no one would want a protagonist that changed. In fact, people just assumed that they would look the same no matter how much time passed.

If this quality was kept from the game, I might never be able to become more than a cute shota…

Eventually though, the guards allowed me to pass after I showed them the invitation from the count.

They still looked at me with strange looks, but I was allowed to enter the manor in the end.

There was even a butler that came forward to welcome me after I showed them the invitation. It really was a large change in attitude because I had this invitation.

Still, I didn't mind since this was how I had expected it to go.

But Nicole and Jessica both had ugly expressions as they followed me in.

The butler led me into the manor and we soon arrived in what appeared to be a dining room, but to my surprise, I found that the people inside were already eating.

The one who was sitting at the head of the table was a fat man with a curled moustache, the perfect example of a corrupt noble. But I knew that this man was the count since I had seen his picture before.

The count was currently laughing while holding a large roasted chicken on a tong in his hand. The ones that were at the dining table with him were all laughing along with him, but it was clear that they were just laughing for his sake.

Seeing this, the butler didn't bring me forward and just had me stand there on the side.

When I saw all of this, I knew that there was something bad about this.

After a long period of waiting, the count finally noticed the butler and waved his hand for the butler to come over.

I was about to move forward, but the butler stopped me and moved over by himself. He went to the count's side and whispered a few words in his ear. After that, the count looked up at me and just stared without saying anything.

However, I could tell that the way that he looked at me was similar to the way that others looked at me. I could see the traces of disdain in his eyes.

But this time, I didn't remain passive as I went forward to say, "Lord Count, it is my pleasure to meet you. I am…"

Before I could finish, the count suddenly raised his hand and waved it as if telling me to stop. At the same time, it was as if he was dismissing me…

The count then said, "It doesn't matter, just tell me what you're doing here."

My face couldn't help looking a bit ugly when I heard this, but I still said in a calm voice, "We're here to make some purchases for food and supplies for my territory."

The count gave a nod before saying, "Don't cause trouble or you won't be able to bear the consequences." Then without even looking at me, he waved his hand again as if he was dismissing me.

The butler understood what he wanted, so he came forward to show me the way out.

I was clearly annoyed at being treated like this, but I still followed the butler out of the manor. 

As we were leaving, I could hear the sounds of people snickering and the whispers around me. These were clearly barbs that were directed at me.

Still, I held it in since I knew that there was nothing to gain from provoking the count and the people in this room. While they looked like they were nothing more than lackeys, the fact that they could dine with the count and wear such fancy clothes meant that they were most likely nobles as well.

I was nothing more than a lowly baron and I had received that title because of Baroness Rose, so I knew that I couldn't do anything to cause trouble for her. Not to mention, any trouble that I caused would cause trouble for my town.

So I endured as I was shown the way out.
