Chapter 200

Mrs. Alicia’s dinner was literally to the point where her upper legs were bent.

At first, of course, I thought it would be because there were more children in the nursery school, but as the food gradually increased, more and more people came from outside, and later, all those who said they had seen their faces came and started taking out tables outside the building.

And it was only when I saw Mrs. Alicia taking it for granted that I knew that this was her plan. No, but still, this food in between? If anyone sees it, it is at the level of misunderstanding that I knew about my coming three days ago.

“Valkun?! Alchemist Valkun?! This is what that Valkun made?!”

“Yeombyeong? Why is he like that?”

“I heard that the sword Eldmia was wearing was filthy good?”

“Huh. I knew you were a bastard, but it’s been a while since you left and you’re already wearing that? That’s amazing.”

I didn’t have the courage to calm down Hans, who was going crazy with the momentum of his eyes going back, so I left him alone and he was ready to lick the real sword. It was surprising enough that Mr. Valkun was a famous person who reacted like that, but Hans’ such a mad reaction, which he had never seen in his entire life, was even more surprising.

In fact, isn’t Gin a very great person? Seeing that he started working as an adventurer belatedly, it seems like a story with enough potential. Why would there be one or two long-serving servants like that?

In my heart, I wanted to take the sword away from Hans right away, even if it was disgusting, but I was in a position where I couldn’t take my eyes off Hans who was making such a fuss.

“Hyung! Did you really jump down from the sky and catch the flying dragon?”

“Hyung said that with one kick, people fly away, is that true?”

“Brother! Was the sister here really a princess?”

“Brother! What do people in the capital look like?”

It was very difficult to answer while remaining sober as these youngsters, like future adventurers, were trying to bombard me with questions with their eyes shining.

oh my god. What do people in the capital look like? From the faces I don’t know, I don’t think they belong to Ogwen. Did the people in the neighborhood I lived in look different from the Ogwen people?

In the end, I came to the point of regretting that I came back to get dinner for no reason, unlike the morning I left the nursery school with a boast. Of course, even if I said I regretted it, the kids couldn’t let me go, and in the end, I calmed them down as much as I could and went through the process of answering them one by one and explaining them appropriately, and finally I was able to eat a meal.

“The stew... is cold...!”

It was a stew of much better quality than the old days when it was okay, so in fact it didn’t matter anyway, so I tried to eat it, but my thick hands grabbed the bowl and changed it to steaming stew.

“sister..!”

“Don’t give a damn, eat it.”

Because it’s the same anyway

As she went into the kitchen again holding the bowl, I thanked her inside and started eating. Asilie, who enjoyed being tortured by the children, said with a smile.

“It’s only been less than two years, but everyone is so extreme.”

“Who said no. Anyone who sees it would think that the village chief’s son came with a knighthood.”

“But I think it’s proof that Eldi has been doing well here, so it’s nice to see it.”

It was Asilier who was feeling happiness in a way that I couldn’t understand at all. Is it any good? I have no choice but to try to be like this wherever I go in the future.

“I like it even more because Alicia told me to go to bed today so I can eat and drink leisurely.”

Presumption of leverage is such a scary thing.

“Of course, the real problem is with my older sister, who drank all of it because she was happy.”

“Huh...!”

At that unfamiliar appearance, I immediately thought, ‘I heard that elves’ vomit is rainbow colored, but is that true?’ I wanted to make fun of him, but I decided to keep my mouth shut because there was a history of jokes that almost ruined the atmosphere yesterday.

“Anyway, I’m taking a break today. It’s no big deal anyway.”

“Ugh... I will.”

It was still early in the morning when she left the nursery school, leaving Asilie with the feeling that she would vomit if she moved even slightly.

It was not easy to secure visibility at a distance where even the fog did not clear properly, so I decided to leave the horse alone. It’s enough for me to just go to the place I’m accustomed to, but it seemed like this would be enough for people who get hit by horses while walking defenselessly.

“...eww.”

It was creepy. Not a chill from fear and horror, but a chill from feeling better. It didn’t take long for me to realize exactly what I was feeling and at the same time I was very surprised.

I was intoxicated with the feeling of returning to my hometown after a long time while walking the streets of Ogwen in the morning.

Having been back and forth between the cabin and Ogwen for nearly five years, I never thought I would be so attached to the city itself. Until I came here, my hometown was the cabin where I lived with Asillie in the forest, and the village was nothing but rubble.

I like people, but that’s it. I thought so... but in reality it wasn’t at all.

“Is it a law that something invisible can happen when you concentrate?”

The advice given by Esmuer in the Empire came to mind anew. I thought I was distinguishing what to hold on to and what to throw away under my own arbitrary judgment, but I guess that wasn’t the case.

It was not a bad realization. Because I know what I can’t afford to lose.

I hurried at my slow pace, soaked in emotion, and headed to the Holy Cross to make sure I wasn’t late for the appointment. On the way, I bumped into the people I had dinner with yesterday and exchanged greetings from time to time, so I arrived in no time.

And as soon as I appeared, a figure like a giant stone guarding the temple slowly opened his mouth.

“It’s been a while, Eldmia.”

“...Could you have been waiting for me to come, Priest Asher?”

“Because you’re always on time for appointments.”

as tall as me. Shoulders and body that seem to be 1.5 times wider than mine. A angular and solemn face that looked as if it would shout ‘This disrespectful man!!!’ at any moment.

Asher, a combat priest of the Holy Cross, showed a benevolent smile that did not go well with such an imposing appearance.

“Come in. I owe you a lot this time.”

“Why do you think it was me. It was the adventurers who saved Belessica.”

“You look like a clumsy guy. What would you do if you only cracked down on adventurers?”

“...ah!”

hi go fuck! You didn’t say anything to Velesica and Snowal!
