Guardia basically showed little interest in others. This was a congenital temperament, but it was also an acquired disease caused by events in childhood.
Furthermore, he avoided talking to men, but he was basically cold and haughty, and because of his charisma, he had little communication with female students.
No matter how much attention is given to an issue in the ecliptic, it is like picking stars in the sky to get into the ears of the guard.
So, she knew too late about the scandal that Adelian had with Princess Seria.
‘… Isn’t it Feia?’
Although her face did not change for a moment like a statue made of ice, Guardia stared blankly at the words of the girl in front of her eyes.
“So, if that Adelian gets engaged to Princess Seria… Wouldn’t you be the successor, of course?”
‘So, with our family… ’ I couldn’t hear the words that followed.
It was just confusing.
“well. For now, I don’t want to say anything.”
“Guardia-sama, then later… … !”
Guardia strode along, leaving behind several people who continued to spill words about future conflicts of interest while chasing after me.
Returning to the dorm with no thoughts of training in the private practice room, Guardia moved her eyes to Payyan, who was enveloped in the faint scent of lavender.
“oh? Miss, are you here already?”
Guardia asked coldly, seeing Payyan looking at her with slightly drooping eyes, like the tender girl she had seen for the first time, the appearance that had been compared to the pure white lily was nowhere to be found.
“Was this Adelian’s plan?”
Feia can’t do it, so joining hands with Seria?
“Doesn’t anyone care if it’s the princess?”
After all, such an idiot with only desire without ability. I wondered if he had changed a little, but he’s trash who always thinks only of himself.
What does the rumor that Adelian, who has a bad reputation throughout the empire, get involved with the princess Seria mean?
‘Are you aiming for the position of a son-in-law after handing over the Kruger family’s enormous interests and money? With the power of the head of the household?’
“Or, like the old habit, if it’s a beautiful woman, are you trying to get entangled in it?”
Come to think of it, from the people Adelian has now to Peia and Seria, all of them are extremely beautiful.
At least the male escorts, although they couldn’t look at Guardia properly, it was clear that they were very good looking.
‘This idiot.’
At the moment when the air around Guardia became even colder, a warm hand held her hand.
“miss. Are you our boss?”
For a moment, what was reflected in Guardia’s eyes was Payyan’s face, as if nothing in the world was more interesting than this.
“Is our boss a beautiful woman?”
“… uh?”
As soon as he saw that face, Gadia felt his pulse go out of control.
“Oh, then that would be really fun. But lady, our boss can’t do that.”
“then… This job… what?”
To be honest, I couldn’t help but doubt it.
After coming to contract the artifact called Siren with the imperial family, the only thing they did was go to the party halls held by nobles, hunting festivals, arenas, and even gambling places.
There, he approached Princess Peia, and suddenly a scandal broke out with the first princess, Seria.
If it was a serious scandal, Seria would have stopped it, but if the scandal reached the ears of Guardia herself, it meant that someone had openly spread it, and that someone had no choice but to be Adelian.
After coming to the ecliptic, the sidewalk was like that, so I couldn’t help but doubt it.
However, I saw Payyan smiling with a face that was so funny in the world at his words.
‘What the hell Adelian… What are you doing?’
Unlike the cold face at the beginning, Payyan kindly opened his mouth at the appearance of Guardia looking at him with a little questionable eyes.
“Boss will change the world. Let it go.”

“what? Are you perfect?”
“Oh, this is no fun.”
Luna and Leaf, Rachel and I bought food that didn’t overlap with us. Then, looking at Zero, he threw one word at a time.
“The boy went to the street of the shipyard and bought everything sold nearby.”
“In the middle, I came out separately and bought additional things different from Luna sunbae-nim.”
―I also bought mainly those sold only in the vicinity, and I think it was a reasonable decision. manager.
Does being competent work for something like this?
In addition to the clams, grilled prawns, and stir-fried conch with butter that Rachel and I bought, the steamed clams and smoked guinea fowl legs that Luna bought, the berry compotes that Leaf bought, and the salty, salty bread on the outside.
There, I looked at the table filled with the soft slime pickles and spicy fish stew that Zero had bought.
“There is pickled soft slime!”
The other day, Rachel asked me to eat that, so I wonder if it was her favorite food?
“My junior Rachel said to eat dried slime and pickle for a while. Do you like it?”
Zero smiled mildly and began to take off the wrapping paper and organize it.
“nice. Seniors are the best.”
No, is it that easy to say senior in Rachel’s mouth?
Zero has grown resourceful.
I admired it and sat down. Except for the bread with berry compote and salt, he opened his mouth after holding a loaf of bread that had a mild taste.
“Then, shall we share what each of us did today?”
Except you Kane. I’ve been training all day, so there’s nothing to hear.
I poured a glass of wine for Kane as if telling him to drink and looked at Luna first.
“First of all, I chose the furniture together with Zero, as Bocchan said. So it seems like the color and shape are too normal, but… … .”
“I think it was better than a sofa with an open clam or a bed with useless feathers. Seniors?”
“But isn’t that pretty?”
As expected, it was good that Luna quickly added a riff to the words that she was going to choose alone.
From polka dot tights to shirts full of feathers.
Luna is all good, but her aesthetic sense is subtle.
a little… Should I say avant-garde? avant-garde? Or too modern?
‘First of all, it’s hard to follow with the eyes of ordinary people who are not well versed in art.’
I laughed and tore off a piece of bread, dipped it in the spicy fish stew, and put it in my mouth, but this time Zero opened his mouth.
“Anyway, since it’s a coastal city where trade is active, there are many furniture that take into account the difference in height and uniqueness of each race, so basically, I chose those that Luna-senpai liked even a little bit.”
Basically, I seem to prefer a soft bed, or Kane prefers a bed without small decorations. Luna is a bed made of high-quality leaves or sawdust treated with mana solution instead of cotton.
If you hit the earth, does it feel like organic?
Rachel has a bad sleeping habit, so the bed is always enchanted with strengthening magic, and Leaf is a bed with a storage space.
“you?”
“I am big.”
Zero is the greatest.
“In my mind, I wanted to try a little more variety of color heads.”
“Still, wouldn’t it be a bit golden, senior?”
zero good!
I laughed while drinking beer and watching Luna say something a little regretful.
“How about the riff? Did you buy a lot of books?”
Just because you can’t have a conversation with others right away, you can’t tie a riff with someone unconditionally.
Since this is a coastal city where various races come and go in a much freer atmosphere than the ecliptic, I sent Reef alone.
-yes. It was fun just to look at the various books lined up. I bought the most famous and popular ones, and at the same time, as the manager said, I wanted to pay attention to the pictures.
oh? I was very upset when I heard that Riff had also bought a painting tool.
“Then I have to tell you that I left. Rachel… is busy.”
I’d be very ashamed if I told Rachel, who seemed preoccupied as she was tearing open a piece of pickled slime in one hand and a smoked guinea fowl leg in the other, to explain it.
“Looks like nothing happened.”
I shrugged at Kane’s words.
“Have you chosen the boat you want?”
“That’s what… … .”
―Anything would be worse than airship. Sorry for the lack of charging.
That’s right. It’s too bad that the Airship’s Sea Pearl is still charging.
How can I say it’s not yet because I’m so choosy?
I was thinking for a while, but Zero, who was eating spicy fish stew, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Come to think of it, I went around and gathered a little bit of information.”
I nodded my head to quickly change the topic.
“say it.”
“It is said that the Namhae Archipelago has as many pirates as there are islands, but among them there is a pirate that has suddenly emerged like a new star.”
A pirate who is said to operate that large ship like a horse galloping on land. A pirate who says that even in a typhoon, with only a compass, he can break through.
“I heard that she is already called the queen.”
Pirate Queen Alice.
At that, I groaned and touched my chin.
What is it, the things I heard at the shipyard, and the things Zero is saying even now.
It leads to conclusions that are too gooey.
Even if only Alice, the pirate queen, could at least borrow that ship… I think it will be fine.
Since it’s a pirate, wouldn’t it be possible to enter the mermaid area if you give me enough gold?
“Come to think of it, we also heard some suspicious news today.”
Rachel, who had been chewing on her cheeks, swallowed and continued.
“I see where the sacrificial ceremony was held in this area. Is it more likely to be a warlock or not?”
“Is that the church?”
Kane took a sip of his wine before speaking in a subdued voice.
“That is still unclear. I couldn’t even confirm the pattern.”
At my words, Kane slightly lowered his golden eyes and looked into the air.
“Let me check that out.”
“Don’t even dream of catching the inspector and probing him with your fists.”
Kane snorts at my words, but that’s pretty obvious.
No matter how genius Kane is, in a place where there is no basis or information, he won’t ask me for gold, but if he’s going to solve it with his body, isn’t that the only way?
“Anyway, you don’t need to find out too secretly about that much, just buy the information from the guild.”
“Adelian.”
After I came to a conclusion lightly, I put a salt-grilled shrimp in my mouth and savor the sweet shrimp meat, but Zero calls me.
“I know Adelian doesn’t like partying, but if you’re going to look into it anyway, why don’t I look into the pirates a little bit?”
I opened my mouth to say that even if I paid money to the information guild, I would not be able to know the current location of the pirate queen.
“Are you alone?”
“I’m not going to a dangerous place, I’ll just walk around the coast and visit other islands once or twice to get information.”
Zero smiled meekly and gazed into the green jewel as if to ask him to trust him.
Well, even Zero is vastly different from the days when he hid behind my back.
In addition, it is more than enough power to do the job of a suitable informant.
Just as I was about to nod, Zero opened his mouth again.
“Ah, by the way. Adelian. Do you still have my body?”
I laughed at the sight of him laughing mildly and talking about a dead body.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Your body in the labyrinth? Yes.”
Zero, whose head was still decapitated, thanks to the fact that he did not melt and eat, but only absorbed mana from the core and immediately created a body. In other words, the ordinary body of brown hair and brown eyes remained in my subspace.
The real Zero isn’t dead, so it’s strange to bury him, but it’s also strange to just throw it away.
It’s not a real person, so you don’t have to eat it to remember it, it’s a kind of chimera-like body that you scraped up here and there, so I was holding it in hopes that it would be useful if I go to the Mage Tower later.
“Can’t you just give me a few strands of hair?”
Awareness reduction badge makes it easy to recognize people when talking, but when you’re just passing by, it tends to look like a landscape, so that would be more helpful for information gathering, right?
“why?”
“I thought there might be times when I’d have to hide my face for a few days.”
I nodded my head with an ah at Zero’s words. So maybe it’s better to just be normal for a while and take off the deterrence badge.
“Let’s do that.”
“yes. I will not disappoint you.”
At my words, Zero laughed heartily.
