After Being Exiled From the Country, I Became the Fourth Enchanter in the World!

Chapter 39 A Way to Legally Leave the Nonland’s Family Register

A hippogriff carriage is hurriedly running through a pitch-black highway while making loud noises.

It’s a scene that looks like the carriage would fall prey to the monsters, but the carriage is filled with cheerful chatter (except for the gentleman named Will, who was turned into a worn-out rag by the punishment).

「Fufufu… you look like a real girl~. How about you meet Jink-kun while looking like this?」

「He’ll be disillusioned and won’t talk to me anymore, so it’s a no!」

「Fufu, I think Jink-sama will like it. You’re cute after all.」

「Elsa, you too!?」

The child who’s being played with by the ladies is Esther.

He was the heir of Duke Nonland until the daytime.

When Esther learned the details of the denunciation meeting that is currently taking place in the royal capital, he decided to run away from Rosalta.

It would mean abandoning his duties as a noble, but even he didn’t want to get dragged into the downfall caused by the thoughtless royal family and the brute hemorrhoids old man.

If I’m going to be punished for the sins of my family… I want my brother himself to punish me.

Thinking so, Esther asked Karen to make himself a slave.

When those around him were surprised by this――

「Considering what my grandfather did, there is a high possibility that we will be turned into criminal slaves in a month… even if that doesn’t happen, we will be used as a meat shield on the front lines of the battlefield until we die. In that case, it would be better to become Karen-san’s slave, leave the Nonland’s family register, and have me transferred to my brother free of charge after we arrived at Quall.」

―― he explained the reason.

He declared that he would pay the <Sacred Flame> five times the market price for an A rank escort request as the request fee.

By the way, Esther, who gave all his money to Jink, has no cash on hand.

He plans to pay for the request fee by cashing in the personal belongings of his grandfather and father, who are away from the mansion during the interrogation.

Although it is an outlandish method, Will judged that it is the best move Esther can make in his current situation.

The <Sacred Flame>, who had to return to Quall to report the situation in Rosalta and have them discuss the appropriate agreement again, decided to take Esther’s request.

And then, Elsa, who was next to Esther, also accepted Esther’s words and declared to sell herself to Jink.

She said that she wanted to take responsibility for exposing Jink’s life to danger because she couldn’t do anything even though she was his nanny.

She’s an ordinary maid with no experience in martial arts, so the movement speed will slow down and the danger will increase if she goes along, but――

「We’ll also move our base to the Quall Kingdom. You took the trouble to bring us to the capital, but no matter how you look at it, this country will sink soon. We’ll flee to Quall before we get dragged into it.」

――since the <Dragon’s Tears>, which has multiple slow-moving D rank adventurers, also declared that they would escape from Rosalta, it’s no longer a problem.

Then, they rented a hippogriff carriage from the guild and drove through the night.

「The hippogriff can run for days nonstop if I heal it with recovery magic regularly, so there’s no problem~」

Let’s not talk about the fact that there was one of the best healers on the continent who said such a devilish thing to the hippogriffs, who normally had to take a rest every few hours….

Having decided to enslave himself, Esther was quick to act.

Making full use of the functions of the enchanted equipment given to him by Jink, he made everyone in the Nonland mansion faint and took the family fortune as much as he could.

Since he also collected all the items he had bought from Jink, it became an unbelievably large amount of luggage, but he used the item box and magic bag to confiscate almost all valuable items.

「The country probably will confiscate them later, but right now, all of the property in this house belongs to the Nonland family. As a member of the Nonland family, there’s no problem even if I take them. My grandfather and father have the right to sue me, but I’m sure they will never be able to come back to the mansion again….」

For better or worse, many of the servants were frightened by the report that Jink was an enchanter and they already escaped from the mansion, so the job was completed easily.

Esther felt a little sad when he found out that his mother also abandoned him and ran away, but… he remembered her personality and gave up.

Then, after throwing the Nonland family’s properties into his item box and magic bag, Esther bribed a slave trader whom he had a close relationship with, quickly abandoned the Nonland family name, and began his escape with Karen and the others.

There is no problem with this either.

At this point, the Nonland family has not been charged with a crime (the judgment has not yet been issued), so Esther can enter into a debt slave contract on his own terms.

And since slaves are legally treated as property, Esther, who signed the slave contract, can ignore the punishment for his family.

「Still… making me dress up as a girl to hide my identity is too much….」

「It suits you~, you look so cute!」

「That compliment won’t make me happy!」

Esther’s face was well-known as the son of the duke, so boldly escaping through the gates would be impossible.

Even though he had officially left the Nonland’s family register, there’s no way the gatekeeper would let a relative of someone who would soon become a sinner escape.

So, Karen’s <Esther Girl Plan> was implemented, and he was forced to change from his enchanted equipment to a maid uniform.

He registered himself as Karen’s slave, so he could not disobey her….

It’s pitiful, but he reaps what he sows.

After changing into a girl, Esther, who originally has a cute face and hasn’t had a change of voice, was treated like a stuffed animal by the women and held in their lap, and he had to suffer the humiliation of continuing to wear the maid uniform even after he passed through the gate.

Three days after Esther and Elsa escaped from the royal capital… the public execution of General Nobul, the life sentence of Duke Nonland as a criminal slave, and the demolition of the Nonland family were finalized.

The soldiers came triumphantly to capture the Nonland family members and confiscate their belongings… while thinking of secretly making some pocket money.

However, the mansion was already empty, and there were no valuable items left.

The information was leaked a long time ago, and it took a long time for them to take action.

So, this result was reasonable.

After investigating from morning to night, it seems that what they found was large furniture that didn’t make much money, broken spears… clothes stained with the smell of sweat, and dozens of erotic novels hidden in the desk in the office.
