Chapter 139

"Enon, isn't it time you started eating something other than that?"

"Just give me what I want, you bastard."

"I'm busy right now. So just leave a coin here and take what you need."

Enon tossed a coin into an empty can placed next to the fruit boxes and picked up two lemons. He put one in his pocket and began eating the other one like any ordinary fruit. Watching him do this, the young shop owner scrunched up his nose.

"I've always been curious about how you could possibly eat that so casually."

"Do you want to stop doing business here?"

"To be honest, after five generations, I wouldn't mind quitting if I could."

After this cool reply, the young man moved all the fruit boxes and turned around to wipe the sweat off his brow.

"But judging by the fact that you're still here... do you need something else?" Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

"I'm curious if anything unusual is happening around here."

"Nothing much today. You must know about what happened in Apeto yesterday."

The shop owner nonchalantly responded to Enon's question, then suddenly let out a small "Ah."

"Speaking of Apeto, there is one thing that comes to mind."

"What's that?"

"It's not much, but you know the Cavalry that recently delivered a huge blow to the Apeto House?"

"The Cavalry?"

"Yes, that's right. The Cavalry. They're looking to hire some people."

The shop owner laughed softly at his mistake, took off his hat, and sat down on the small chair in front of the stall.

"What's so interesting about hiring servants?"

"Well, they're not hiring servants per se, they're looking for a physician and a pharmacist."

Enon, who had been expressionless, showed a slight change in his eyes at these words.

"A physician and... a pharmacist."

"Quite unusual, isn't it?"

The young fruit shop owner's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile.

The middle-aged man, who had been sitting at the table trimming vegetables, lit up with a welcoming expression as soon as he saw Enon.

"What brings you here? I have nothing more to say about the guest you asked about before...?"

Enon had visited him a while back, asking about the people who had stayed at The Giant's Sleep before taking the Cavalry test. Two people had lodged there before heading to the test, but the owner only remembered a handsome man with flamboyant red hair. It took him a while to remember the pale man with black hair who was with him, and even then, he could only vaguely recall his existence.

Enon paid little attention to the owner's apologetic face, and glanced towards the staircase leading to the second floor, where the guests' rooms were. He promptly broached the subject at hand.

"Nevermind that. I heard the Knights of Peletta are staying here. Where are they?"

"Oh, the ones who were interviewing all day for a physician and pharmacist."

The owner's face brightened up even more at the familiar topic.

"They're still here. They've been taking turns guarding room three. I asked them this morning if they knew anything about the incident in Apeto yesterday, but they seemed clueless. Did you come here because you're curious about that, Enon?"

"No, not really."

Enon left the talkative owner behind, who was keen on discussing the recent event in Apeto, and promptly climbed the stairs.

"Eh? Then why are you here? You're not here for the interview, surely..."

The voice of the owner, tilting his head in confusion as he considered that unlikely possibility, no longer reached Enon's ears. What filled his mind was the face of a man who had visited him not long ago, shaking up his monotonous life with a substantial ripple.

Even after deciding to write off the man who casually claimed to have come back from the future as a madman, something about him continued to nag at Enon.

Despite the fact that nothing seemed remarkable about his origin, the dormant power within him was mind-boggling, a fact that stirred Enon. He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

"Well... strange man. I'll see for myself whether you really reversed time or not."

Enon briskly opened the door to the room where the Knights of Peletta were staying and entered, dismissing the idea that someone else might be chosen from his mind.

At that moment, Yuder was sitting in the Cavalry Commander's office, quietly extending his gloveless hand. Each time Kishiar, wearing the holy symbol, channeled his divine power, the purplish spots spreading on the back of his hand disappeared, accompanied by a prickling pain.

"I'm glad I can fulfill my promise to you."

"...Yes."

"Lift your head. Seeing that it didn't spread much, I can tell you've put in the effort."

Despite his words, one could only wonder how many people in the world could look straight into Kishiar's chilly smile. As Yuder sighed and lifted his head slightly, Kishiar smiled softly, gently gripped his fingers, inspected the palm of his hand, then flipped it back to its original position.

"Good. It seems to be all cleared up. You may put your glove back on."

"Thank you."
