CH 103

Two days after confirming the power of the Artemis’ bow.

Shin came back from his home village.

Tauro and Aeris had returned from their herb gathering quest and were about to report back to the guild when they ran into Shin.

Judging by the fact that he came back alone, it looks like she’ll be coming later.

“Welcome back, Shin. I’m looking forward to the day she arrives.”

Tauro guessed this and said.

“Tauro… That day will never come. I was rejected…”

Shin’s shoulders slumped and tears streamed down his face.

“What?”

I was surprised by his unexpected answer, but couldn’t say anything else.

“Why were you rejected?”

Aeris asked Shin the question that Tauro had been so careful not to ask.

“She met a new man while I was away…”

Ah, the long-distance thing…

Tauro inwardly felt sorry for Shin, but he didn’t know what to say, so he remained silent.

“You haven’t been in touch with her often, have you? You deserve it.”

Aeris’s words were merciless.

Aeris! What do you know at your age?

Tauro retorted inwardly.

At any rate, he knew he couldn’t hurt Shin any more than she already had, so he warned Aeris and urged her to leave.

As Shin trudged off with a soul-deprived look on his face, Rumeya came back in a misplaced manner.

Thank God, if Shin had run into Rumeya, he would have been more hurt by Rumeya’s happiness. I’ll tell him about Shin and make sure he’s careful before he rubs salt on the wound.

“Welcome back, Rumeya. Will she be back later? Oh yes, I’m sorry to interrupt your happiness, but Shin…”

“She’s eloped!”

It sounded to Tauro as if Rumeya had just said something ominous.

“Huh?”

Tauro couldn’t believe his ears and quickly asked back to Rumeya.

“She ran off with a guy who used to be my henchman…!

Same here! This is also not good.

Tauro inwardly tsked.

“Rumeya too? Shin is also depressed because he heard that his girlfriend had found a new man.”

Aeris didn’t seem to have any intention of being careful.

“What? Shin too?”

Rumeya was shocked, his expression changed at the misfortune of his friends.

“Yes, Don’t be downhearted, you should talk to Shin, your his elder.”

Don’t be absurd, Aeris. Rumeya is in shock right now…

Tauro tried to stop Aeris’s unreasonable order…

“Okay, I’ll go to Shin’s house.”

Rumeya showed his brotherly spirit and ran to Shin’s house.

Surprisingly, Aeris is a people watcher.

Tauro was impressed by her ability to turn a bad situation into a good one.

The next day, when they met in front of the guild, Shin and Rumeya were back on their feet.

They had come to a conclusion.

“Since Shin and I have decided to live together in the same house, why doesn’t Tauro live in the house I was going to live in?”

Rumeya suggested.

“It’s too big for one person to live in…..The house I was going to live in has three rooms, so why don’t you and Aeris live there? We can use one of the rooms as a common storage space for our belongings.”

As expected, Aeris would probably refuse that.

She’s only 14, but she’s still a girl.

I’m sure she doesn’t want to live with a man, even if I’m a child.

“I’m sure Aeris wouldn’t like that.”

“I’m fine with it. I was thinking of moving out of the Dwarf’s Inn, too.”

You don’t mind?

. Tauro was surprised at how easy it was for Aeris.

“I’ve got a lot of stuff to carry, and the Dwarf’s Inn is getting too small for me. Besides, it’s close to Shin and Rumeya’s house, right? It’s more convenient for us as a team.”

Indeed, as Aeris said, the closer the better.

he was surprised that she was thinking about it so properly, but Tauro had no reason to object any more.

The first thing Tauro did was to ask the village chief if it would be okay to expand the house or make other changes.

The answer was yes, and if he wanted, he could take it down and rebuild it.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately took action.

I asked Aeris to build a wall with earth magic in the form of an extension to the house.

Aeris did as she was told and built the wall, but Tauro instructed her to hollow out the ground underneath to create a space.

“What are you going to build?”

“That’s for later.”

Tauro replied while tearing down the walls of the house and connecting it to the space Aeris had created.
