Episode 446: We Will Be Blessed (3)
Meister stared at the exam room with a slightly complicated feeling. There, beings who seemed to embody dynamism itself were playing around with the dust.
Even if it gets dirty with dirt, the vitality felt from its powerful movements does not fade. Rather, the sweat droplets falling and the slight reflections seen as the muscles expand and contract looked like a work of art.
It was a work of art that could only be seen at this moment.
“Tei-kun, do you understand why I told you to be patient?”
“Roughly.”
It’s common to see horses running, but this is the first time I’ve seen a horse and rider wrestling with each other like that. This was especially true because up until now, most adventurers had tended to give in to Frederick’s stubbornness.
“Are you really going to take it?”
“Well...”
I was so angry earlier that I shouted, “You don’t think you can handle it?” But if you think about it rationally and calmly, it’s true that you actually can’t handle it.
Anyway, how on earth are you supposed to cover up that much stamina? Something like that could only be done by a monster like an adventurer, but it was impossible for an ordinary person.
“If you give it to me, you have to accept it.”
But that doesn’t mean I have any intention of just rejecting it. Because of his nature as an adventurer, it was obvious that he would be very worried if Frederick’s future residence was not properly decided.
And he made a tremendous contribution to this world. If you think about that, there’s no reason why you can’t grant one wish from a guy like that.
It was a story that no matter who in the group you asked, the answer would be the same.
“I don’t have the confidence to take good care of it.”
“...Tei-kun has also changed a lot.”
“Hyung, are you still climbing up from earlier?”
“It was meant as a compliment, but why are you angry?”
Timanuk protested with a proud expression. So the meister grabbed the cheek holder and stretched it out. “Lee Heon’s death is unfair.” Timanuk’s confidence disappeared at once.
“Hmph.”
Timanyuk went limp, touching his bright red cheeks. There was no scene that made me feel sorry.
“Ah, but that kid is kind of funny too, isn’t he?”
However, Meister had no idea. He smiled with no trace of guilt on his face.
“How do I know if I will be rich?”
“...? Isn’t it obvious? Mr. Tei’s research is something that, if successful, will turn the world upside down, and isn’t that actually happening?”
“...okay. “That’s true, though.”
But that was only for a short time. The conversation that followed made Meister feel embarrassed and just scratched the back of his head.
“Eh, I don’t know.”
“Are you going?”
“I couldn’t sleep anyway, so why not check what I made?”
“You can do that tomorrow, right? “If it’s now, I might never see you again.”
At Timanuk’s words, Meister briefly stopped leaving the exam room. I don’t know what thoughts came into his little head. Only he knew.
“doesn’t care.”
But he soon gave up his hesitation. That much was clear.
“This is enough.”
The Meister polished the magic tower wine and put the cigarette he had brought in to his mouth. There was no longer anyone to light a cigarette, but it didn’t really matter.
“I can eat away at it for the rest of my life just with the knowledge I’ve shared so far.”
As expected, he already had a magic tool made using batteries.
Chick. The magic tool that the adventurer named ‘Lighter’ created a flame and ignited the cigarette. It was a trace of an adventurer that would remain in this world forever.
* * *
I was finally freed from Frederick after about two hours of intense play. Really, I don’t think anyone would say he was a famous horse, but his stamina was amazing.
“Has the Meister gone?”
“yes. “They said they would check again what they had developed.”
“Right.”
I thought that the decision was truly Meister-like and left the place with Timanuk. Frederick, of course, is the original stable.
It was fortunate that there were no misfortunes as I was extremely exhausted.
“What are you going to do now?”
“well.”
The rest of the kids, like Timanuk, don’t have any promises made to them.
“First, I would like to find each person and talk to them. And... I’d like to invite everyone to dinner in the evening. “If you think about it, there has rarely been a time when everyone gathered together and relaxed.”
“Everyone gathered together for a meal... Is this a banquet? “I think it’s good.”
“All right.”
You could ask the others to gather in the simple hall until evening. Once the banquet location is decided, all you have to do is bring the gathered people and go right away.
I thought so and completed the division of roles. Timanuk, who got excited at the word party, quickly disappeared at a brisk pace.
“Now then, who should we look for first?”
Mystiltein said he would enjoy his own party, so we ruled him out, and Crusher and Berserk will sit around all day... no, they will stay near the hotel, so we can put them lower in priority.
“I guess I should start by talking to the Inquisitor.”
I walked forward with the divine power clearly perceived in my senses. The first batter has been decided.
* * *
“No, no, it has to be this beat.”
The Inquisitor stuttered as he watched the girl clapping her hands. What was taught at first was clearly easy to follow, but as time went on, the order became more complicated and it was easy to get confused.
“I guess you’ve never tried this before.”
“Where I was, we didn’t play games like this...”
Games like tag and hide-and-seek were allowed for training purposes, but I’ve never played games like this before.
I’ve never seen someone draw a line in the ground and go back and forth without stepping on it, or collect rocks and roll them in the palm of their hand and throw them.
“I hope you’re good at hitting the tombstones.”
“You just have to throw it and hit it...”
The Inquisitor scratched his head as he watched the new games that came out one by one every time the child asked to play. It’s not that she was dissatisfied with the life she was living, but I felt that it was far from an ordinary life.
“Then today, let’s stack stones.”
“okay.”
Still, stacking stones would be easier than this. The Inquisitor quickly picked up two stones nearby while watching the girl teach her how to stack stones.
“Huh?”
However, no matter how much we rubbed the stones, they did not stack up like a tower. It was a failure of judgment by the Inquisitor.
“difficult!”
“It’s because I grabbed a stone that was too small.”
“is it...?”
Even so, Isarncol has already built a five-story tower with stones of similar size.
The Inquisitor looked at his stone tower, which could not even go up to the three-story tower, and once again put stone against stone. The balance was so exquisite that it really wasn’t easy to find the reference point.
“It won’t work if you just pile it up blindly.”
“Adventurer?”
Then, with a familiar feeling of discomfort, the young man raised his head. As expected, he was an adventurer.
“Now, if you find a sharp part like this and put the joint together...”
The adventurer, who came towards us with great strides, took what the Inquisitor had been doing and put it back together. The structure was designed to build a tower like that, but surprisingly, it was successful. The breathtaking three-story tower stood firmly without shaking even in the wind.
“wow.”
“You adventurer, you’re the best!”
“Were you two playing like this?”
“yes!”
The adventurer’s expression softened at the girl’s answer. It was his true self that had never been seen before.
“Do you two have anything special to do this evening?”
“Uh... I haven’t heard anything happened.”
“I don’t have any!”
“is it. “Then, can Gan come alone around sunset?”
“It’s not that difficult, but what’s going on?”
“Rather than saying something is wrong...”
The adventurer, who wrinkled his nose, placed his hand on her head and folded the corners of his eyes. The hand gently stroking the top of my head is extremely soft, even though it is covered by a layer of leather gloves.
The Inquisitor’s cheeks softened.
“Because I plan to do something.”
“yes?”
What are you trying to do? That adventurer?
The Inquisitor had no idea what on earth was about to happen, but he quickly nodded. It was a memory brought about by absolute trust in the adventurer.
“I will definitely go too!”
“okay. “I would really appreciate it if you came too.”
The girl who actively placed the adventurer’s hand on the top of her head also cheerfully accepted. The adventurer’s smile grew a little deeper.
