Chapter 302

Gainando whined, "They keep glaring at me. What am I supposed to do if they glare at me like that every time they visit?"

Yi-Han thought of a good solution. It was something he had already said to Asan before.

"You can just go outside the mansion."

"Huh?"

"What if you wander around outside?"

"Oh... Will you hang out with me?"

"If that's what you want."

Gainando's face brightened. Seeing his reaction, Ratford felt sorry for him.

'It'll probably be a bit different from what you're thinking...'

—

Since the topic came up, Yi-Han called Asan as well and set off with his friends.

Gainando asked with an expectant face, "Are we going to buy mage cards?"

"No."

"Are we going to buy the newly released magazine?"

"Nope."

"Then where are we going?"

"The Richmond family."

"???"

Gainando and Asan tilted their heads at Yi-Han's words. It wasn't a familiar family name, so it took them a moment to process it.

The Richmond family...

"Where was that again?"

"You don't know the Richmond family?"

Yi-Han looked at his friends as if he couldn't believe it. His friends shrank back like students who had gotten an easy test question wrong.

"S-sorry. Which family was the Richmond family again?"

"Isn't it the family that runs one of the most renowned carriage transportation guilds in the Empire?"

"..."

"..."

How do you know that?!

While the two were dumbfounded, Yonaire nodded as if she understood.

"Ah. Right. That's it."

"See? Yonaire knows. I'm surprised you guys don't know that."

"..."

"..."

While Asan and Gainando were at a loss for words, the group arrived at their destination.

Located on the outskirts of the city, the building of the Richmond Transportation Guild resembled a huge warehouse.

"Hey, you bastard! Can't you see the carriage is here right now?!"

"That's my line! If you don't move the carriage right away, I'll send you to the temple!"

The coachmen in charge of the carriages were doing their best to somehow quickly get the carriages inside the warehouse, while the guild employees moved without stopping for even a second, unloading and loading boxes.

"It's like your estate, Yonaire," Yi-Han muttered.

"?!" Yonaire was startled by Yi-Han's comment.

'Did our place look that chaotic...?' Yonaire made a mental note to tell the staff not to let too many people wait in front of the estate when she returned.

"Carriage to Krvalgen City, finished!" someone shouted.

"Departure! Departure!"

"Shyles?"

"?!" Shyles, a member of the Richmond family who had been yelling among the workers, was surprised to see his friends visiting.

—

"I'm really grateful, Wardanaz," Shyles expressed his sincere gratitude and held out a pouch.

Yi-Han was touched by Shyles' straightforwardness in giving him money without any bothersome process.

'The others should learn from this,' he thought, glancing at his friends.

"What's up?" they asked, puzzled by his gaze.

"Nothing. By the way, Shyles, I wanted to ask you something."

"Me? Sure, go ahead."

Even an experiment with an ordinary name like could turn out to be a bizarre experiment where all sorts of attacks were thrown at the subject.

"Ah... No, Wardanaz. Of course, they're unfamiliar mages, but they're mages who have built trust and reputation in this city. They're not wanted criminal mages. There's no way they'd conduct strange experiments, right...?"

"No," Yi-Han answered firmly.

"They can. Remember that. Got it?"

"Y-Yes..."

Shyles nodded, overwhelmed by Yi-Han's force. He still couldn't understand the logic, but Yi-Han's voice carried a sincerity that transcended logic.

"But assisting mages with experiments is really a good job, Wardanaz. It's not something you can get right away just because you want it... You can listen to the experiment details and choose a good one, can't you?"

Not all mage experiments were dangerous. Observing and recording unusual magical phenomena occurring near the city also counted as experiment assistance.

"Alright. If you insist, I'll consider it," Yi-Han said.

"No, it's really..."

Yi-Han finished summarizing and looked up. "So, Shyles, which of these jobs are you doing?"

"Me? I'm too busy. I have to help with guild work."

Yi-Han was intrigued. Perhaps the work was closer than he thought.

"Does working for the transportation guild pay?"

"No, I don't get paid, but it's our family's business, so I do it."

"Tsk, Shyles. Even if they're family, working for free is not a good idea. You're undervaluing yourself."

"...Ah, no... It's our family's business, so...?"

As Yi-Han was about to give that advice and stand up, a guild member ran over and said to Shyles, "Young Master, the neighboring merchant group is urgently looking for a mage to organize their potion inventory. Why don't you go? It pays quite well."

"No, look at our warehouse. We have to finish organizing it today. Can't you see the coachmen are about to riot?"

"This is perfect timing. We'll take that request," Yi-Han said.

"?!"

"??!"

Shyles, the guild member, and Yi-Han's friends behind him were all surprised by his words.

"You, Wardanaz?"

"If it's a job that requires a mage, the pay should be decent, right?"

"Ah, no. The pay is good, but it'll be boring and tedious."

"The pay is what matters. So, it's okay to take it, right?"

"Uh... Yeah."

Yi-Han got up, took the paper, and leisurely left. His friends followed him out.

The guild member, still gaping, finally came to his senses and asked, "Ah... No, Young Master. Those friends are nobles, right? But why?"

Shyles deeply sympathized with the guild member's words. Exactly!

—

"A mage, and an Einroguard student at that? You're absolutely welcome!" the merchant group employee exclaimed excitedly, then looked up and was startled.

'They're nobles!?'

"...You, you know what we do here, right?"

"Rummaging through the warehouse, checking potions, and organizing inventory, isn't it?"

"That's, that's right... But it'll be boring for you. It won't be fun..."

"But the pay is good, isn't it?"

"That's true... We, we look forward to working with you."

Yi-Han's group headed to the warehouse. Nillia, Ratford, and Yonaire didn't think much of it, but Gainando and Asan were still in shock.

"But why are we doing this?" Gainando whispered.

"It, it must be for magic study. That's definitely it for Wardanaz," Asan replied.

As the two whispered, they saw familiar faces in front of the warehouse. It was Salko and his gang.

"!!"

Salko and his friends were surprised to see Yi-Han's group.

"Wardanaz! What brings you here?"

"We came to work."

"You..."

Salko was momentarily at a loss for words, then exclaimed in admiration, "...are truly amazing!"

"Are we really working?" Gainando's whisper faded away in vain.
