Finally, I left the 3rd floor, Seneran’s studio, with Laika.
The second floor, which I came down with a short-legged sad beast in my arms, looked more crowded than when I glanced at it as I went up. I looked around for a while to see if there was a trend of purchasing adventurers’ goods in the capital without my knowledge, but most of the customers are adventurers. No matter how light the outfit was, it was not too difficult to find out because the adventurer badge was always hung outside.
It must be that the nickname of the golden wizard was not thrown in vain. I went down to the first floor, thinking that perhaps the time when I came with Ashlie was the moment when there were the fewest people, and it was even more spectacle there.
[If the Leica is over there, it will definitely get stepped on.]
I thought the same, so I didn’t put down the Leica I was holding in my arms. Laika’s tail was cut short due to her past as a herding dog, but the long tail overcame the problem.
Most of them are shorter than me, so I don’t feel like I’m out of breath, but there are a lot of them. Most of the adventurers on the 2nd floor were mostly expensive items, whereas the 1st floor was full of low-level adventurers. Nelby was among the busily moving among them, but he wasn’t really good enough to say hello, so he decided to leave the store quietly.
The moment I came down the stairs and stepped onto the busy first floor, there were people who noticed me and reacted.
[master! People are staring!]
I thought it might just be one or two people, but that kind of reaction gradually spread, and within a few seconds, I reached the point where I could tell that people were looking at me without even realizing it.
At the thought that it might be an attack of some kind, even the fluff stood up and there was a small murmur at the moment of tension.
“Is it a real guillotine?”
“Look at that dog and his height. It’s just like the rumor.”
“It must have been real that he used Seneran’s magic library items.”
“They said that he appeared in the blacksmith’s shop where his craftsman, Balkun, was...”
I don’t know if he knew the real world. Even after hearing the same rumors, some are territorial and try to raid, while others react like ordinary people who have seen celebrities. I didn’t know anything else, but I really liked that the road was slowly opening up.
Everything else was bad. Even as I quickly passed them and left the library, there was a debate going on behind me over whether or not I was really guillotined, so I put my Leica down and quickly left.
Fortunately, there was no one chasing after or prying behind like a big fan. If you have even a little bit of common sense, it would be natural not to step on the back of a human nicknamed the guillotine, but after going through a lot of things that didn’t have common sense, I became cautious.
“Use it. I don’t know if this will cause miscellaneous things to invade the house later.”
Of course, if I did that, I’m going to bring a death that will go down in history, but being fearless and annoying are always two different things. If that happens, I’m sure I’ll have to go to the grind again, so I’m tired just imagining it.
Even after that, a lot of different eyes were focused on me and Laika, so by the time I arrived at Ragnis’s mansion, I was tired and tired. After trying to wash my face and coming to my senses, I announced my intention to visit, and as I stood at the front door, a familiar face greeted me from afar.
...It seems strangely healthy...?”
“Just as I have a lot to tell you, I have a lot to tell you this time... what else is that dog?”
“Haha. No matter how many stories we have to say, it will be new blood in front of the great fantasy adventure in Eldmia.”
Yes, it’s okay to be healthy. As soon as Ragnis, who was suffering from muscle pain and had difficulty moving, sat down, we started talking.
The beginning of the conversation, which is not enough to describe it as truly relaxed, started with my adventure story. From getting entangled with Sen’s party while going to Ogwen with Asillie in a happy mood, after receiving a request from the Holy Light Cross to beat the devil and confronting the heretic judges of the Demonic Church, in Englem, he unintentionally steals Laika because of the alteration of Grondzel. Despite the fact that the whole story leading up to the sale was conveyed raw, without any seasoning, Ragnis seemed to be unconscious.
“So, is this a demonic sword?”
“Yeah. Originally, her face was a bit more bloody. It looked like she was wearing a wolf-shaped helmet. Her body also felt like a metal texture.”
Ragnis, who showed an unbelievable reaction while stroking the sleeping Laika on his lap, gave him a questionable look, so he just smiled. What if it’s true?
After that, Ragnis’ recent situation was unexpected in many ways. It wasn’t surprising that she was sincere in what she said in the Empire, but it was a completely unexpected development that Radnell Vandes had shown a move to be overprotective of her, and that he was now overturning it and giving her Spartan education. .
Honestly, I was very worried that Radnell Vandes didn’t show up even during the Envelde incident, so I might stab him in the back. I was very fortunate that it wasn’t the worst situation, but I wondered what caused the change in my heart.
“Well. Maybe it’s because you’re stronger than Master expected and you’re just going out?”
“Am I the cause?”
“Master already knows that I have no intention of leaving you.”
Come to think of it, on the day of my visit to the empire, I was a nobleman who talked nonchalantly to Ragnis and immediately realized it was my fault after seeing the slap on the cheek. If the conclusion I came to after reviewing my actions so far was Spartan-style education for Ragnis, then it would be right that the education of the past few weeks was really just basic education.
Suddenly, Ragnis, who had a hard time even lifting a cup of tea because of muscle pain, began to feel more sorry for him.
“You’re going to have a hard time in the future.”
“...why?”
“From my point of view, Sir Radnellvandes intends to train you to the point where you won’t die even if you are next to me.”
And sooner or later, the incidents I’ve been talking about since the Envelde incident will also reach his ears.
By the time she is strong enough not to die even if she fights demons, Ragnis may have become a muscular woman comparable to Ekatrina.
