113. i can go
A faint demonic stench that I almost missed.
I had a similar experience like this.
‘Rather than the devil himself…it’s highly likely that he’s a human who made a contract with the devil…’
So let me cast my gaze into the party hall.
The man who was guarding the front, who appeared to be a guard, stood in front of me.
Looking down at that figure, about a head taller than me.
“Are you in attendance?”
In reality, the guard seemed to be nearly two meters tall.
Perhaps it was his job to protect the nobles, so he seemed to have taken a lot of physique into consideration.
“I asked if you had an invitation to come.”
Those eyes that looked me up and down were annoying, though.
I answered quietly, fearing that if I caused a commotion, the other side would notice and run away.
“I didn’t receive an invitation.”
At that, the guard gave a small snort.
“huh.”
He shoved my shoulder with a face that seemed to know that.
“This is no place for you guys to eat. Get out of here.”
Apparently, because he was pushed back in size, he seemed to be looked down on at once.
I turned my gaze inward for a moment without answering.
Because I wanted to see what kind of guy gave off the devil’s unique stench.
However, the guard seemed unwilling to allow even that.
“When people talk, you have to listen and eat them. Isn’t that right? Anyway, are unlearned bastards really like this?”
And then you want to shove my forehead with your finger.
He stretched out his hand and teased his mouth.
“Keep your eyes open, kid.”
thump
I couldn’t block my mouth, but I grabbed the guard’s fingers and blocked them.
The guard then raised an eyebrow.
With a face as if he had found an interesting toy.
“Huh. Catch it? What if I catch it? Don’t you know who I am? It’s the first time I’ve seen it, so it seems like I’m missing a lot of information.”
“Who are you?”
“This body is a former Knight of the Slope Knights. What do you think? Are you awake now?”
However, I still stared at him with an expression that I didn’t know what he was talking about.
“Are you a kid who doesn’t even know the Slope Knights?”
He bluffed the people behind me.
“Hey. Stop thinking about interfering. Don’t regret interfering in vain after your arms are broken. This guy is already bad, so give up.”
Then Andrew laughed lightly.
“f*ck. Oh, mistake, mistake. I’m sorry. Do what you want. I won’t interfere. Right?”
Then he asked Orhel, who was next to him.
Orhel was no different.
“Uhh. Don’t intervene. Don’t intervene. If you can, try it.”
Guard’s brow furrowed at that.
“Are these guys… crazy as a group? Let’s see if they can keep talking nonsense even when they see their hands being shattered right in front of their eyes.”
When I was on that continent, I started with seven knights from the beginning, so this was rare…
I was ignored only on the very first day, on the wagon.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve been treated like this…… It’s fun.’
while thinking like that.
The guard twisted his hand around and grabbed my forearm holding his fingers.
It wasn’t too bad of a skill.
I don’t know what the Slope Knights were doing, but it seemed like it was a place where they could proudly announce their name.
Finally, he grabbed my wrist with one hand and bent it inward.
He raised the corners of his lips and began to force them.
Whoops!
“Even if you regret it, it’s too late!”
* * *
“I-why is this not working?…”
The guard continued to force me to break my hand.
However, if his hand was to be broken that much, it should have been smashed long ago when dealing with guys like the Kraken.
“Why! Why not… Heuuu!”
The guard strained his neck and temples with blood vessels.
The other guard next to me thought I was joking at first and smiled.
As the situation continued, did you realize that something was strange?
He approached with a frown.
“Hey…you’re not doing it right now, are you?”
“No!……This is not supposed to be like this…!”
I waited for about 30 seconds.
Now my patience has hit rock bottom.
therefore.
Whiriririk, tduduk!
The guard made a copy of the same movement and returned it.
“Whoa!”
The guard of the two-meter-tall giant knelt on the floor and groaned because his arms were twisted excessively.
He had his own pride, but he didn’t scream until the end.
“Turn it off!”
For me, I was grateful.
If you make a fuss for no reason and your eyes are drawn this way.
Before I see through the devil in that party hall, I’ll take this one first.
And at the same time, thanks to the kneeling, the inside scene came into view.
Without paying attention to the guard, I slowly rolled my eyes to find the target.
the source of this stench.
‘Which one is this?…Hmm?’
In the meantime, there was one person who caught my eye.
It was a beautiful woman with a coquettish smile among the nobles.
I checked the target.
I decided to back off for a while now.
If we pursue a chase here, it will only go against me.
‘Right now, without the reputation of the Seven Knights or the reputation of the Heretic Inquisitor… If I pursue a woman, I’ll be the only one who’s kept in check.’
What if the woman who had colluded with the devil had run away and hid?
It would be several times harder to find.
‘I wish I could enter through the front door…’
I had to approach it, even if I grabbed it, I wouldn’t miss it.
‘Wouldn’t something come out if I asked the mayor?’
Still, the mayor, Baron Dustem, was a man of power who fully knew that I had captured the Kraken.
As for the nuance I felt from our first meeting… It seemed that he wanted to make a personal connection with me.
‘Because in a world like this, people with power are treated well.’
I’m thinking like that.
I looked down at the kneeling guard.
“From now on, watch carefully and attack.”
“Keugh…!”
I decided to put up with it at this point so as not to cause any further disturbance.
let me let go of his hand
Guard pulled his wrist into his bosom and looked at me while stroking it.
But those eyes seemed a bit mischievous.
“Keep your eyes open.”
At that moment, Guard’s eyes changed rapidly.
“Isn’t this good enough?”
* * *
We returned to our accommodation.
I decided to go straight to City Hall.
It was to meet Baron Dustem and find a way to enter the party.
By the way……
“Guest. While you were away, did you get a letter addressed to you?”
“Correspondence?”
“Yes. Here it is.”
I tilted my head and accepted the letter from the innkeeper.
and unfolded it
“……”
After looking at the contents, I was a bit dumbfounded and stopped.
Orhel asked him.
“What is it?”
“I don’t think we need to go to the market.”
“What? What do you mean by that?”
I didn’t bother to answer, but I turned the letter I was holding and showed it to everyone.
[To Sir Rohan.
To thank you for your hard work, I am inviting you to a ball this coming weekend.
Many aristocrats are also planning to participate, so please join us in making the event shine.
Filoren City, Dustem Market.]
Seeing that, Orhel laughed.
“Hiya. You bastard, do you have a sense?”
I nodded.
“Right.”
“Yeah. I’m envious. Aren’t there a lot of good drinks if you go in there? Haha. If I were a woman, I’d follow you.”
At those words, Diaz and Grendel’s expressions seemed to change in an instant.
‘Is it an illusion…’
Andrew asked, tilting his head.
“If it’s a woman, can I follow you?”
Orhel shook her head.
“Oh, you poor bastard. You’ve never been to a prom, have you?”
“……Yes.”
“Are you going to the prom alone? Going in with a beautiful woman.”
“Was it like that?”
“Don’t open your mouth anywhere. You look pretty normal if you don’t open your mouth.”
“……Chit.”
Leaving the pouty Andrew behind.
Orhel asked me a question.
“So, who are you going to take?”
“……?”
“Uh-huh. What’s wrong with Brother? If you’re stupid, one Andrew is enough. Shouldn’t you take one of them? It’s a bit wrong to take them both.”
Orhel looked at Diaz and Grendel, who were standing next to them.
“…..”
“…..”
A strange feeling of tension… flowed through the inn.
and.
Weekend coming soon.
I’m holding an invitation
He was heading to the party site written there.
According to the rumors I heard earlier, this prom is held periodically every year.
It was said that it was a prom with its own history and tradition.
So, we made our own preparations a few days ago…
The well-dressed woman next to me and I were going to see the results of that effort today.
* * *
a few days ago.
Orhel asked who he would take.
I couldn’t answer right away.
So the conclusion was this.
“I’ll try on the clothes and decide. I’ll take the one that’s not awkward.”
It was a last resort to take a tempo break…
It seemed that something more fierce and invisible was unfolding between Grendel and Diaz.
Andrew tucked a pod behind his head and laughed.
“Ah. Why do you pay so much attention to a trivial matter, everyone? You can just go to anyone. It’s not like going to a real prom anyway, right?”
the next moment.
flash!
The two women gave cold glances.
Andrew turned his eyes out the window in a cold sweat.
“Uh, uh… the weather is nice. Oh, let’s go get some clothes!”
That’s how we hold the tension that we don’t know.
I’ve been to a few places…
In conclusion, it was Grendel who fell out first.
“Why are the clothes of the people of the Lesia continent so big!”
For Grendel, who was short in stature, she couldn’t find a party dress that fit her size.
However, did Diaz lose out?
that wasn’t it again
Quadang!
For some reason, she had the problem of not being able to walk ten steps in high heels.
“……”
It was a total mess.
Even Andrew can run so well in heels.
“Uhahaha! Doesn’t this look so tall? Hee hee hee!”
It was then.

Just in time, Levarsen came to the place where we were.
“What are you doing? Why is he so lost?”
Quick-witted Levarsen read the situation in an instant.
“What is it? Could it be that… one of them doesn’t fit, and the other doesn’t wear heels?”
Levarsen, whose expression was astonished.
He helped Diaz up and raised him up.
“Thank you.”
Levarsen shook his head and continued.
“What are you going to do? Even if it’s the weekend, there’s only a few days left? Find someone else? Or…”
Because she suddenly blurted out her words.
I asked.
“if not?”
“Or… Well, I can go. I know the clothes will fit me well and I’ll wear heels.”
but.
Certainly, Levarsen also belongs to the very beautiful axis…
“Weekend, I will definitely master how to walk until the weekend!”
Before I even finished thinking about it.
Diaz shouted at me with eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Involuntarily, I nodded my head.
“Ugh, uhm.”
“Yes!”
What else are you insisting on here…
Diaz worked through the weekend until his heels were worn out.
In the end, I was able to walk just fine even with heels on.
Diaz with my arms crossed.
“Come in.”
“……That’s right.”
She smiled and pretended to be an aristocratic woman.
Seeing that figure that was more beautiful than I thought, I swallowed the answer for a moment, and finally managed to do it.
so the two of us
“Welcome to the ball!”
Guided by the mayor, Baron Dustem, they entered the ballroom.
and.
“Huh? Huh? Yes, why are you…”
The guard I faced a few days ago also faced again.

Just in time, Baron Dustem bent down and spread his arms to guide me into the ballroom.
“Come in, Lord Rohan!”
Seeing that, the guard opened his mouth.
like a crucian carp.
“Why, why…why? Why?”
