Adelian is quick-witted and often behaves as if he is reading other people’s minds, acting as if he doesn’t know anything in this world.
Does he know that the moment he is most defenseless is when he is asleep?
‘Perhaps he believes in us.’
Instead of the bonfire she always lit inside the magic tent, Luna glared at the artifact that Adelian called the stove, which she took from the damned land elf, and came out of the tent with a slight breath.
“Senior Rabbit, have some tea.”
Even if the appearance changes, zero is zero. After accepting the cup of tea politely handed to her, Luna sat down on a log and looked at the bonfire that had just been lit.
“There’s no tossing and turning. He fell asleep as soon as he stopped breathing.”
“It’s been a while since we talked to each other, seniors.”
[What did you ask to see?]
Luna smiled at the cute and round handwriting written on the small blackboard Adelian gave her.
It was a little surprising that Leaf seemed to have an expressionless and stiff personality.
“When I arrive at the border Gavioren tomorrow, I will break up with Kane, so before that, let’s gather together to see if we can talk.”
She originally had timidity as her trait, but at some point, probably because of Balbus’ trick, she met a dragon, and as a result, all of Adelian’s defensive artifacts were lost.
I wonder if it was about the same as when I came to the forest of spirits. Luna wanted to become stronger in order to protect Adelian, and as a result of whipping her weak self unconsciously, from a certain point on, the frequency of slurring her words decreased and her eyes, which had always been slightly lowered and looked at the floor, rose upward.
for Adelian.
‘I can’t if the young master protects me.’
The maid must protect herself.
“To be honest, Kane is the strongest among us, but from tomorrow we have to act accordingly. Do you mean to make up your mind?”
I did the so-called gathering under me. Not a single one of them, including Luna, knew what that meant, so everyone nodded.
“That’s right, senior. Now that Kane is gone, we have to put our hearts together.”
Looking at Zero, who was a handful taller and nodding her head with her hands together, Luna nodded her head slightly as well and smiled at Leaf, who was talking in writing.
“Especially Kane should do well. Do you know?”
Kane raised his eyebrows slightly at Luna’s question with a face that said Adelian could become an angel or a devil depending on how you act.
“I know what you mean.”
“Never, never, never. You shouldn’t say things like, “I hate humans, look at you with contempt, or touch my body while passing by on the street. I’ll kill you at a level that you can’t hear.”
There may be many people here who have as good ears as Luna.
“you’re right. In particular, he looks very relentless toward men rather than women, but that shouldn’t be the case.”
The ones who burned the village, the black magicians, the back alley beggars and human hunters, the village chiefs and slave supervisors who sold them, as well as countless other betrayals, most of them were adult men who were ruthless towards children, so Adelian had a strangely cold reaction. I wonder if I knew everything except for this, so the cane drive started.
-you’re right. On a human basis, Kane is particularly sensitive to adult male subjects.
“I get it. Be careful.”
Kane raised his hand and waved it lightly, as if telling everyone to be moderate, and everyone smiled and took a sip of the tea.
“Don’t worry, Bocchan, do your best to do what the Bocchan ordered you to do.”
“you’re right. Now that I can lend a helping hand, I will take good care of Senior Rabbit and serve Adelian.”
―I will stay in protection mode instead of combat mode.
Kane clearly felt what Luna, Zero, and Leaf were trying to say.
‘If you don’t know, you’re an idiot.’
Be sure to succeed in the mission given by Adelian. and come back as soon as possible
Believe in yourself and don’t think back.
When Kane smiled sparingly, Luna also slightly curved her eyes.
“You can never ruin it.”
“okay.”
Kane answered and raised himself. It was the night before arriving at the border, Gavioren.

“B1A9 39127.”
“Serial number verified. Please write down your password.”
With the serial number and password Alkaido gave me, I took out a small subspace pouch and a siren that had been kept anonymously in Gavioren’s bank.
A pair of siren prototypes obtained from the dungeon. And based on it, the Siren A version was created by research and analysis.
What I asked of Alkaido was a type of siren that could contact each other no matter how many other sirens there were, just like the cell phone we used on Earth.
‘Is it because it’s a pilot production?’
I went out of the bank holding Siren A, which was said to respond only to one registered Siren prototype.
“What about Luna and Zero?”
―I left for a while to find out the atmosphere of this place lightly.
I nodded once as if I understood Leaf’s words, and then threw the Siren A I had brought out at Kane.
It looks like a dumpling and looks like a soft slime. It looks similar to the Siren prototype but has a slightly different color. Kane snatched it lightly and looked at me.
“This.”
“One siren is complete. Report your progress with that.”
In the first place, I rarely act alone except when I run errands, but I’m afraid I’ll send it without at least one safety device.
In the middle, either me or Kane, the moment things go wrong, I have to join them, but if I just let them go, at what age can I find them and join them?
‘Besides, Kane has such a strong pride that he would keep his mouth shut even if he faced unreasonable things.’
In a way, I am entering a place that is no different from an anti-army, so I take into account a little unreasonable things, but there might be a moment when I have to step in.
If it’s not a big deal, once every 2-3 days. In a tense situation, you may need frequent exchanges of views.
“You haven’t forgotten how to write, have you?”
Kane’s gaze scans me as I hold the prototype and ask.
＜It can’t be.＞
I nodded my head in satisfaction and handed over a subspace artifact that appeared to be a plain brown leather pouch.
“You can put it in your usual bag. Even if you put it in subspace, it’s a siren that belongs to you, so as long as the pocket isn’t far away from your body, you should be able to talk.”
It would have to be that much concentration, but that’s because Kane.
“You came out after doing all your business.”
“Me and Rabbit-senpai found an inn with delicious food, Adelian-sama.”
After running around for a while, I nodded my head as if to guide me at the words of Luna, who untied her ears that were slightly tied down like a hair band, and Zero, who pointed in the direction with her finger.
“It’s definitely a border area, so the overall food is rough.”
“Most of them are used by mercenaries, so there are many places that look a bit rough.”
what would it be Now our party wears awareness badges on the sleeves or down their clothes.
Blur the overall impression, making it unmemorable. Magic that makes your face look normal.
Apparently, the monster border is also a place where people die easily, and it was not a normal town or city, but a place made for military purposes, so the overall atmosphere was rough.
There was a basic perception that it was easy to get into a fight in such a place, and since Luna and Leaf’s appearance was outstanding, I got it from Gamur in the hope of preventing trouble in advance.
“It’s closer to the village than I thought.”
“So what did Luna think?”
Luna laughed lightly at the question as she led the horse to find the restaurant and inn that Zero and Luna had guided her to.
“The fence is just set up. Can you hear the monster cry?”
“I also imagined something similar to you.”
At their words, I opened my mouth, recalling the original work and the things I had read to learn about this world when I was still in the mansion.
“A place like that needs to go a little deeper. You can think of this as a place to rest after one subjugation.”
Everyone nodded their heads at my words, but Leaf held out her white and soft-looking hand and said,
―I will tie the horse to the stable and go, manager.
I gave Leaf a coin and asked for more horse food, then went into the inn.
“No, it’s real! One ogre later!”
“what the… I know you only applied for subjugation of small monsters.”
“The settlement amount this time… … .”
“I’m just going to run one more run and go home.”
Anne was chattering.
The air was entwined with the smell of various foods, body odor, and dust.
I found a table with a wooden window slightly raised out of the way, sat down, and winked at Kane, who was sitting across from me, and Luna, who was sitting next to me, to cover me.
‘Am I leaving too neat?’
I muttered to myself, thinking that it would look much nicer to sneak out the codex and hang the clean on the table.
But I can’t help it. I also remember living in modern times, but Adelian also lived as an aristocrat, always purifying and cleaning with magic.
It’s cleaner when I’m homeless than here, so it’s not a sin to want to eat a little cleaner before meals, even if it’s only after I’ve gotten used to it. Cancer, no way.
“So you think you can use the same tent as others?”
“It was then.”
Seeing my actions like that, I shrugged at Kane’s question.
In the army, I lived well with my successor who smells like feet even after washing. People are said to be animals of adaptation, and when faced with it, they are supposed to do everything well.
After setting it up roughly, I opened my mouth.
“There are usually three types that come to the border.”
One is a regular mercenary. They usually eat and rest in a village that serves as an advance base, and when a subjugation request comes to their liking, they register and participate.
The money is in the form of receiving a small amount as an advance payment before going to subjugation. If you die in the middle, the request money and death consolation money go to the bank designated as consolation money.
two. Temporary contract type mercenary. It is a way to apply if you have more than a certain level of credit or a level of force that does not require it.
From noble mtl dot com.
It is characterized by literally signing a contract for more than 3 months and subjugating it by following orders from the military rather than supporting it yourself.
and three. These are nobles and those who have been dispatched.
Most of them were greedy for success in the military or were demoted, but there were cases where they came for a sense of justice and commoners.
“Kane, you are applying directly to the military. You will be assigned after a skill test and an aptitude test.”
I quenched my thirst with lukewarm plain water beer and continued.
“Your job is to make a profit, and at the same time, if the opportunity arises, build up a personal relationship with Margrave Reinhardt.”
“Are you a man?”
“yes?”
As soon as the name Reinhard came out of my mouth, Luna asked, and Zero and Luna averted their eyes at my answer.
Why?
“I get it. If the opportunity arises.”
“Well, I know it doesn’t look easy thanks to the position of Marshal and the position of General even here, but it’s surprisingly simple for you.”
The man likes strong men.
Luna pats Kane on the shoulder at my words with a smile. It’s nice to see you cheering me on like that.
The salty salty sausage’s liver was chewed in a balanced way with chewy bread. We won’t be eating together for a while now, so I wanted to eat something delicious, but is there anything else I can do?
“Let’s have a party at a very nice place after work here.”
“okay.”
I shook hands with Kane and parted ways. As soon as Kane removes his badge and walks away from me, it’s clear that people’s eyes turn that way.
[Kain Rayners – The one who advances (+)]
Representative Traits: [Unfortunate (SS)] [Genius (SS)] [Appearance (SS)] [Body (SS)] [Mana Control (A+)] [Dispel (B+)]
Hidden Traits: [Toughness (SS)] [Almighty (S)] [Craving (A+)] [Miracle (B)]
All traits except hopelessness have risen. The reason is probably the battle with Leaf in the airship. It must have been because of the battle with the chaser outside the airship.
‘Despair.’
I initially thought that trait implied that Kane didn’t forget. The pain he suffered, his tenacity for revenge. unbreakable will.
But looking at it the other way around, Kane might have the qualifications to be forgotten by someone.
In the original work, even with that appearance and achievements, he eventually became a forgotten hero in the memories of ordinary people, not party members.
‘It’s different this time.’
I let out a deep breath and turned around and went back to the inn.
and.
‘Why is my sister out there?’
A red-haired martial artist sipping a drink in the corner at some point when he entered.
I looked at Rachel and opened my mouth.
