95 – Sepia Reviden 5
Yesterday, after patting Sepia’s head for an hour and arriving at the dormitory, Dahun thought,
‘It’s weird no matter how you think about it.’
Lately, there has been an increase in emotional movements.

One might wonder what the problem is, but among my traits, there was a poker face.
It could prevent the expression of emotions, but once the suppressed emotions burst, it becomes a double-edged sword that even I can’t control.
Of course, during the incident with Lofri and Morgor kidnapping the child, the poker face broke. But that was a situation where it was expected to break.
‘Especially when I met Viscount Ash as a mission and this time with Sepia.’
When I met Viscount Ash as a mission last time, I threatened Viscount Ash while falling from Wyvern.
I was angry after seeing Viscount Ash spreading drugs in the village in the game, but it wasn’t enough to break the poker face.
Thinking about telling Sepia about Vetsdo was too emotional.
The original plan was for Sepia to find out about Vetsdo herself, and I would intervene just before Sepia died.
These days, there are probably two reasons why I’m emotionally moved.
‘Either my poker face isn’t working, or it’s working weakly.’
Nothing has disappeared.
On the contrary, the current situation was good.
‘If only I could perfectly control my poker face.’
The emperor perfectly controlled the nature of domination.
If I could use my poker face only when I wanted, I wouldn’t have to worry about the suppressed emotions exploding.
Isn’t expressing emotions unsettling?
No, I’m excited because I can do as I please.
“What is it? You know it. But why ask? Are you picking a fight with me right now?”
The raised corners of the mask did not think about coming down.
Da-run, that guy, looked unpleasant from the moment I saw him in the game.

“………………….”
Even though everyone looked at Loki with surprised eyes, Loki didn’t think about stopping his mouth.
“If you’re not picking a fight, why did you talk to me?”
Da-run only shook his hands, unable to say anything.
Sephia, while relieved, was also anxious.
Da-run was closest to the position of Reviden’s heir.
Rania was not only young but also weak, and she hadn’t developed the abilities of a merchant like Da-run, not to mention that her blood was not connected.
“Ah! Are you here because of my magical tool? If you were from the Levayden family, I might trust and leave it to you…”
“Well, yes.”
Darrun was surprised when Loki, who had been openly provoking him, suddenly started talking about the magical tool trade, but he responded.
“Could it be that this guy is also that type of person?”
Darrun had always thought that Loki’s actions were simply a power struggle.
Sometimes there were people who engaged in power struggles before making a deal.
Well, if he can sell just that magical tool, he can endure this level of insult.
Once he obtains the right to sell the magical tool, he can deal with that guy afterwards.
“I didn’t originally plan to sell the magical tool and make money…”
Darrun pretended to listen seriously to Loki’s story while inwardly chuckling.
He had seen many people who pretended to be uninterested while trying to gain the upper hand.
Darrun decided to take advantage of Loki as much as possible and opened his mouth.
“Well then…”
Darrun began to talk to Loki about the trade. Most of it was praising the magical tools Loki had created.
Sophia watched and listened without saying a word.
More accurately, she couldn’t say anything.
It’s understandable that Loki wants to trade with Darrun.
If Loki can trade with the Levayden family through Darrun, he will undoubtedly earn a tremendous amount of money.
He understands it in his head, but…
“I really hate it.”
Talking to Loki was annoying for Darun, and he hated himself for being helpless.
There was nothing he could do right now.
Even though Sepia was a descendant of the Leviden Marquis, Darun’s merchant skills were superior, and his standing was higher.
Especially when Sepia could only listen to the conversation in helplessness without being able to do anything.
-Thud.
He felt something on his shoulder.
Surprised, he turned his head and saw Loki placing a hand on his shoulder.
“Just a moment.”
Loki, casually placing his hand on Sepia’s shoulder, interrupted Darun who was earnestly speaking.
Then, he rubbed his head, saying, “Oh, my head,” as if in response to Darun’s complicated story.
“Oh, if I hear such a complicated story, my head hurts. So, talk to Sepia about the deal instead of me.”
“…If your head hurts, then find someone better than me!”
In the midst of discussing the deal, Darun, taken aback when Sepia’s name came up, hurriedly spoke without realizing that his voice had slightly increased.
In the context of enhancing the family’s standing through deals, if Sepia conducted the deal as Loki’s representative, it was only natural that Sepia’s standing would rise.
“Did I use difficult words by any chance? I’m saying I’m dealing with the Leviden Marquis through Miss Sepia.”
While Loki emphasized that it was the Leviden Marquis and not Darun, the excited Darun did not catch on.
“…You seem not to know well. There are many people more capable than that woman! So, if you do as I say without her help, you can have much more money!”
Sepia also looked at Loki with vacant eyes.
Reluctant to admit it, Darun’s words were not wrong.
Sephia could have made a deal with Lord Libaiden through Loki, but unlike Da-run, Sephia didn’t know much about the merchant business.
Why would she trade with Da-run instead of trading with Loki, which would earn her more money?
“Are you perhaps forgetful? I just said it. I have no intention of selling magical artifacts for money.”
“…….Well.”
Da-run lost her words at Loki’s statement that he had no intention of making money.
Wasn’t that a lie to gain control?
While Da-run looked at Loki, who had put his hand on Sephia’s shoulder, with a dazed look in her eyes.
“………….!”
In an instant, Loki disappeared from her sight.
Da-run, who took pride in being an inspector, didn’t notice Loki’s movement at all.
“Ouch.”
Da-run grimaced in pain that she felt on her shoulder.
Loki, who had put his hand on Da-run’s shoulder, whispered in her ear so that only she could hear.
“So, I’m telling you that I have no intention of selling magical artifacts to you. Do you understand that much?”
Da-run finally realized.
This guy had no intention of making a deal from the beginning.
“If I were to trade through Miss Sephia, her position would greatly rise, wouldn’t it?”
Da-run couldn’t deny Loki’s words.
The magical artifacts he created were not ordinary.
“Whose shoulder did you put your hand on just now!”
Right after dealing with that, a large man standing right behind Thor shouted at Loki.
“Are you really asking that out of genuine curiosity? The person raising their hand right now… I, um, what was the name again? I don’t bother remembering unnecessary names…”
Loki, while speaking to the big man, turned to Thor as if indicating that he couldn’t remember Thor’s name.
“Clear your hand this instant!!!”
The big man reached out to grab Loki’s hand, perched on Thor’s shoulder, with surprising speed despite his massive build.
-Boom
However, the man’s large hand only grasped the empty air without touching Loki.
“Tsk.”
The big man licked his lips once and looked around to find Loki.
“Behind you.”
-Boom!
Hearing Loki’s voice, the man swung his hand again, but once more, his hand caught nothing but air.
“Someone doesn’t like being touched. Especially by men.”
The big man looked at Thor, and Thor nodded silently.
“It seems like the two of you exchanged some secretive glances. Are you two involved in something like that? Oops! Wait! I just imagined it by mistake.”
“As your academy senior, let me give you some education.”
The big man, holding a large club in his hand, glared at Loki.
Unfazed by the man’s gaze, Loki shrugged his shoulders and said,
“Ugh! The dialogue is too cheesy. I’ll give it a 7 out of 10. By the way, it’s out of 100 points. Let me give you another chance. Do you have a slightly more creative line?”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The large man swung his massive axe towards Loki, but Loki calmly evaded it, his hand still in his pocket.
“Do you usually wear glasses?”
The man knew that Loki was trying to shake his mental state, so he tried to ignore him and swing his axe as much as possible.
But no matter how hard he tried to ignore it, the axe did not hit, and Loki’s words were heard loud and clear.
“Does silence mean denial? I asked because you keep swinging your axe in strange places.”
No matter how mentally strong a person may be, if they dodge their opponent’s attacks while keeping their hand in their pocket, they can’t help but be shaken by such words.
“It’s not that I forgot to wear glasses, it’s just more unfortunate.”
“aaah!!!!! Die!!!!!!”
With a fierce momentum, the man infused mana into his huge axe and struck down from above.
-Kwaaah!!!!!!!!
With an enormous sound, dust scattered in all directions.

“Haa……….Haa………..”
The man caught his breath and hoped it would end like this.
After a short while, the dust that had been obscuring his vision disappeared,
and Loki was standing on top of the buried axe.
“No matter how you look at it, it seems like your eyesight is bad. How about going to the hospital once? I’m saying this out of genuine concern.”
This is hilarious
