Chapter 411

Episode 411: I Am Here (6)

“...I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in dating.”

“That kind of thing!”

Sigh! The person resembling an archer character stepped back. I don’t know whether to thank him for obediently backing away or to say that I’m embarrassed that he confessed to me in a first meeting (though not a complete meeting).

“Fool, do you think it will work if you confess out of the blue? “In the first place, we don’t even know if our sexual orientation matches or not.”

Fortunately, my friend, a fighter, seemed to have sound values. The archer character shouted at her tackle.

“How rare are such gentle and kind people in this land! There are even priests by your side! Then isn’t he completely innocent?! “At this level, it’s worth taking a gamble!”

“The conditions are definitely good... but to rush it at the first meeting... ugh, I don’t know.”

The fighter touched his forehead for a moment, glanced behind me, and then came straight towards me. For a moment, my body stiffened at the outstretched hand.

“don’t worry. Just shake hands.”

“ah.”

It doesn’t matter if you shake hands. I willingly held out my hand.

“I’ll apologize on behalf of my friend who lost his temper. “Just pretend I stepped on poop and hand it over.”

“...Sure.”

“Thank you for finding my wallet. “That’s enough for us, so take care of the punishment yourself.”

“Thank you.”

At this rate, even though it was an embarrassing incident, it might have ended well. Thinking like that, I pulled out my hand and returned the money bag. The other person took it and put it in his arms.

“Hey, let’s go.”

“Yes...”

“Don’t be discouraged. “There are many people in the world.”

“Yeah...”

It feels like a bit of a storm has passed. I stared at the remains of the two people who disappeared in an instant, then turned my head back again. As soon as the two people, who seemed entranced, caught my gaze, they vibrated like electronic machines turned on.

“Just this one?”

“...Is that so?”

“...Let’s do that.”

With the pickpocket boy hanging by his tail, we walked towards the temple.

* * *

Meanwhile, it was Meister who reacted first to the sudden visit of someone else.

“What are you doing here?”

He got off the bed, scratching his long hair. Then the person who introduced himself as Timanuk nodded with an expressionless face.

“yes. “Because the research on how the durability of objects can be raised to the limit by manipulating the flow of time was quite interesting.”

“What are the results?”

“Not yet. “Is Tei-kun there?”

“so so.”

Meister shrugged his question. Timanuk’s eyes widened slightly.

“Incredible.”

“It’s no big deal.”

“It’s no big deal. If Tei-kun says that, it’s clear...”

“Wait, wait, wait.”

Just as the conversation between the two was about to continue, Deathbringer suddenly intervened. It was an action I took because I couldn’t understand the situation properly—rather, I was too embarrassed.

“First of all, do you two know each other?”

“You understand what you just said, right? “He’s an alumnus of mine.”

“To be precise, you could say that Tei is my senior.”

“senior? “You look older?”

The Shagi people generally belong to an axis where age classification is difficult. However, Deathbringer’s keen eye was able to recognize the approximate age of even those of the Shaggy tribe.

It was all a technique that used things like the number and shape of hair and scales, and if you look at the tricks, the Shaggy people in front of you are in their 30s at the most. At most, it could be expected to be in the 40s.

They said that he was too old to be the junior of a meister who was in his late 20s.

“Because I came to the Magic Tower late.”

“He came in later than me, so he’s a junior.”

“...When you joined the Magic Tower, were you attacking your seniors and juniors?”

“What do you measure your age by?”

“That’s not true.”

In fact, the ecology of the back alleys also placed a higher value on skills and other factors at the time of entry rather than age. If there is a big age difference, people often get abandoned or retire because the hierarchy is disrupted.

“Then why are you here? “Because of that tailor job?”

“It’s kind of like that. “It’s inefficient to keep going back and forth.”

“Is that so....”

“So what are you trying to tell me?”

At that time, Meister asked, ignoring Deathbringer’s question. With an expression like “Ah,” Timanuk lifted the object he was holding in his hand up to his chest.

It was a stirrup strap with embroidery on the outside.

“I came to tell you this.”

“There is a spell. But why?”

“Because it was made with inspiration from adventurers.”

“What did he do?”

“His horseback riding skills were amazing. “I wanted to observe more closely, but...”

After speaking up to that point, Timanyuk’s eyes turned into those of a strangely sullen person. Although his facial expression itself did not change much, he was a person whose emotions were surprisingly clear.

“For some reason, you ran away...”

“Uh... Are you coming out?”

Aren’t you the kind of person who would run away leaving someone behind? When Deathbringer expressed his doubts, Meister looked at Timanyuk with an expression that said ‘I understand.’

I led the boy to Maxi and lightly patted him on the shoulder.

“Don’t get hurt and stay healthy.”

“...Brother too. Thank you for that.”

“okay.”

I hope I can go to the temple and eat a lot of delicious food. I gave the kid a little wave and went to the other side with Daniel. There was no need to go further this way unless you were going to the temple.

“What should we do for dinner instead?”

“well. “I’ve been eating all day, so I’m not really hungry... but how about Gyeong?”

“I am similar.”

I munched all day, so I couldn’t be hungry. However, I think I might get hungry at night if I continue to eat dinner like this.

“But I think it would be better to eat something in advance rather than eating something late at night.”

“That too.”

Because this is not a world with convenience stores. There may be a restaurant in the Magic Tower, but something is noticeable.

“Or maybe it would be a good idea to go buy something to eat.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“I don’t know if it’s a Deathbringer, but if it’s a Meister, it’s clear that you’ll be grumbling about whether you two are the only ones eating something delicious.”

“Haha, that’s true.”

I, along with Daniel, spoke ill of Meister and then turned back toward the shopping district.

“Would you rather try something new or go back to what you ate before?”

“Let’s go with half of what’s new and half of what you liked.”

“Sure.”

Frederick must have been happy after walking all day and was no longer angry when he said he was going back. I was very fortunate.

* * *

“So are you really going to go out?”

After playing tag for a while, Deathbringer, who had a fist-sized bump on his head, asked. Meister’s remark may have come from genuine kindness, but it was still hard to believe.

“of course.”

“He said he was tired...”

Well, it’s definitely not like I won’t believe him until the end like I did when I doubted the adventurer, but...

“I’m tired, but if I want to get an expensive meal from him, I have to go out anyway.”

“...yes?”

“Are you going to eat too?”

“Is the food here delicious?”

“no.”

“So I have to go out.”

“Yes.”

“The plague also had one more target.”

Really, he has a very consistent personality. Deathbringer scratched the top of his head as the two people cursed, saying that the magic tower rice was not tasty.

“What’s the point of getting a more expensive meal than that?”

“Job, that guy has a lot of money, right? “He has to pay.”

“He is truly a person with a clear conscience.”

Meanwhile, aren’t you trying to find this person out of genuine kindness, but so that the adventurer can buy you food? Deathbringer’s eyes were filled with contempt at the reasonable suspicion that seemed to be the correct answer no matter how he looked at it.

“Don’t just think about getting it every day.”

“Noisy. “He said he would invest first.”

“What does this have to do with investment?”

“If I starve to death, how will I return that guy’s capital? So buying me food is a natural investment.”

“There are people who say bullshit logically.”

“From a logical point of view, I’m saying that’s not bullshit, it’s true.”

“You’re being damned.”

The middle fingers of Deathbringer and Meister were raised towards each other in a friendly manner.

“Um, so you’re leaving, right?”

“uh. “I’m going out.”

“Then let’s change into our going out clothes for a moment...”

Knock.

“...?”

But while they were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

“Who are you?”

“Let’s fly.” “Can I come in?”

“Ah, Master Nari. “You can come in.”

Since it was not a situation where it would be difficult for anyone to be seen, Deathbringer readily gave permission to act as a representative. Suddenly. The door with permission was opened.

“I came here to ask what everyone is going to do for dinner, but there’s a friend I haven’t seen before?”

“hello.”

Timanuk gave the same introduction as he had given to the Meister and Deathbringer. The Archmage’s face, who knew the meaning of those modifiers, was filled with admiration.

“So you...”

And when she was about to open her mouth to say something.

“Archmage?”

Two men holding something returned.

“Oh, you’re here!”

“You...”

The adventurer’s eyes crinkled subtly as he made eye contact with Timanuk.
