Chapter 244

Another week had passed since he refused the Bishop of Hisjena’s request and sent a provocative letter to Siegfried. There was no news that came to me, but I think he must have taken the bait on his own.

In the meantime, there were no incidents. After sharing the reward received from the Holy Light Cross and parting ways to go each other’s way again, after making sure that if things are sorted out, I will definitely visit Seneran, and then report to Sir Ecap about the circumstances of the incident in Englem. There was only one thing. Even that, because Englem handled it so diligently, it was a pretty good result for blowing two warhorses, and Sir Ekaf liked it at heart.

It is said that it was an opportunity to solidify Englem’s loyalty through Bux, who was a source of rebellion rather than money.

However, I had to spend a fairly tight amount of time compared to the fact that there were no such special events, because at the same time as I finally came out of the Ogatorp Mansion, I got a small house for Asillie and I.

“I never thought I would make my dream of owning a house come true this way.”

“Did you have such a dream?”

“No. I just said it.”

A small yard, a stable, and a duplex house with a basement located in the Adventurer’s District, where there was nothing special but everything, was a reward provided by the royal family. Originally, among the royal faction, he trembled with madness that he should buy high for killing traitors with a single knife, confer titles, and present mansions, but due to Duke Lesrom’s strong suggestion, this neat and cozy house and medal of honor. And it is said that it ended with a reward.

It’s a problem because the old man hasn’t even seen me a few times, but he knows me too well.

I was going to play a big game if I said that I was conferring a title, but how could I have arranged it so well. From my point of view, I preferred a small estate and a bank account guaranteed by the royal family to a mansion that would be difficult to sell and difficult to maintain if I left anyway. A house like this is less likely to be used later as a vacation home or rented out.

Above all, I like that the structure of the house is quite neat because it is designed for adventurers who do not raise livestock. Here, too, there are quite a few ordinary homes that are connected to the house where people live. Thanks to that, I was in the midst of managing my household life with Asillie after I had elevated my inner evaluation of Duke Lesrom from annoying old man to decent old man.

“Kkeuh. It’s winter soon, so it’s more money than I thought.”

In my previous life, I had never even used a household account book properly, and when I lived with Asillie, I had entrusted most of the money management to her. I could confidently say that I had surpassed Asillie when it came to money management in the capital.

At first, Ashley, who smiled and watched as if watching an immature child try to manage money, quickly opened her eyes wide and stroked my head as if she was proud.

“It’s a pity that we didn’t prepare food in advance.”

“But isn’t this cheap enough? If Eldi didn’t know the Ogatorf family’s business, I think he would have spent 1.5 times more?”

“That’s true... but it’s also true that I’m sorry. The time I lost because I was a devil or Englem was longer than I thought. If I moved a few weeks earlier, I could have saved it.”

Even if there is no concept of furniture called a refrigerator, the food storage system through freezing magic has been established, so when ordering ingredients in a noble mansion, a large amount of food is ordered at once. It is because it is considered that there is no shortage in treating guests as a nobleman’s dignity. At that time, naturally, merchants who come to the capital with carts full of goods often come and go, and as they compete with each other, it becomes easier to obtain goods. If, after dealing with the nobles, they inevitably sold less and were aiming for the surplus food, it would have been cheaper without bargaining.

Of course, I would have to fight with the restaurant owners who think the same way, but I was confident because I had enough personal connections to have an edge there, but it was regrettable.

“Oh my God. Eldi, didn’t your vitality increase too much while you were in the capital?”

“It’s such a strange feeling.”

Well, thanks to that, I can leisurely stroll around the city, so it doesn’t matter anyway. I looked up at the cloudy sky as I fastened my coat in the cold, which had become so pervasive that it wouldn’t be strange if it snowed right away.

It’s been winter for several years, but this time it’s getting sentimental. Later, when the first snow fell, I was moving my steps, imagining that I would build a snowman in the yard with Asillie, but suddenly someone stopped in front of me and started talking.

At first glance, he was an adventurer and looked like nothing special, and one of the guys who smelled like corn-shattered bullies trying shoulder bread on me in old Ogwen sneered and asked a question.

“Hey, guillotine. I heard you’ve been flying like that lately?”

“Go on your way.”

I was in a good mood, so I moved toward the building to avoid them and move on, but the guy standing at the end laughed and pushed me away.

Of course it didn’t get pushed. It was just a dull popping sound. I looked at him with the same feeling of wanting to see all the stupid bastards, and he started to say something while hesitating at the sight of me not being pushed back as he thought.

“Bastard, are you kidding us that our reputation has risen a bit? Don’t you see that you know class adventurers? Do you want to die?”

“It’s tough.”

“what?”

“Just one shot is enough to shake off your corn and knock you out, you bastard.”

It wasn’t worth listening to the answer, so I just beat him to death and put into practice what he said.

“100 million!”

At the blow that hit the philtrum, he collapsed to his knees, scattering his two shattered front teeth along with blood from his nose. I didn’t even use magical powers, but I couldn’t even react, and I was embarrassed inside because the result was very suspicious of the guy’s physical durability.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been feeling good, but the stars are messing around in one room. What are you guys doing?”

“You, you bastards, who are we...”

“Okay. I think we’ll find out who we are later, so it’s just a big deal. I’ll make you drink only porridge for about three weeks.”

Bastards who showed an obvious reaction are obvious to do later.

I didn’t want to waste my time on those who were not particularly fond of talking in the middle of a busy road and who were sure to fuck me in any form, so I swung my fist to treat the remaining four equally with the fallen one.
