145 – Plot – 3
“No.”
“Uh, huh? Why?”
As if she hadn’t expected to be rejected, the woman jumped up in surprise. The chest wrapped in bandages did not shake even in such a situation and maintained its center of gravity.
There was no reason why I declined that request.
That’s a delivery quest. I know this very well because I’ve been playing it until I’m bored every time I start a new game.
I had to go to a place quite far away from here, but the reward was only one free use of the forge, so the reward returned was overwhelmingly small compared to the inconvenience.
In the game, it would be very useful in the beginning when it is difficult to focus on weapon enhancement and use money, or when adding properties that consume a large amount of money, but now there is no need to worry about money.
‘Once you do it, it should be useful, but why? It’s a feeling.’
Of course, it was not a delivery that had the right conditions like holy water with light. Just like any other quest, put the items in your inventory and use fast travel or whatever to come back and you’re done.
I can’t use the statue, so I’m just skipping it because it’s annoying.
“And, isn’t that the first time you’ve seen me today?”
“For now, isn’t it?”
“Why would you offer such a deal to a stranger?”
In the game, in order to receive that quest, the total number of uses of the forge had to exceed 5, but I wondered what I was going to believe in asking me, who was visiting here for the first time today.
“yes?”
The woman tilted her head.
“You, the one here… … what was it Anyway, isn’t this the knight commander?”
“you’re right.”
“There’s no way a person with the rank of a knight commander can’t take anything away, right? Well, I heard that sometimes there are people who act as if they don’t care, trusting only their skills or their juniors, but if you were that kind of person, rumors wouldn’t have spread.”

Got it right away Well, now I’m not an ordinary new knight, but the captain of the knights here, so my identity must be guaranteed. Even if I saw you for the first time today
‘for a moment. I think I heard something strange.’
Rumors spread?
“Rumors, what do you mean?”
“Yesterday, your kids ran out of money. I heard then It’s the leader of the knights who did a great job in the imperial palace. Everyone complimented me, so I wanted to see someone’s face, but it’s worth it.”
“… … .”
For some reason, when I came here, people’s eyes were not serious, maybe that’s why.
“Can you tell me what kind of rumor it is?”
“Well, there are many things, but… … The most representative thing is that you caught a dragon?”
“… … .”
The story about catching that guy’s dragon was nowhere to be found. I’ll have to catch one for real later.
Anyway, when you meet the world eater, you need to kill at least one dragon in order to establish a conversation to some extent, rather than being unilaterally beaten.
I have to collect evidence of subjugation, so I cut off my tail.
“All right. Thank you for answering, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do you a favor.”
I declined the request, pulled out my bag of gold coins, and put the amount of money the woman asked for on the counter.
The woman, who took the money with a face that couldn’t be helped, went into the blacksmith’s back with a nightmare that had lost wings. There was no sign of discouragement. It was just a pity, to the extent of saying.
In the game, it was a method of strengthening immediately after selecting a weapon in the UI window and paying the cost, but here it seems that you have to touch the weapon directly.
Of course, there was no such thing as reinforcement failure in Brunet 4.
“Let’s sit down and wait, Aurora.”
“Ah yes.”
I sat down on a chair lined up next to the store. Aurora also followed me and sat down on the chair next to me.
Because her upper and lower body were bent vertically while sitting in a chair, the hem of Aurora’s shirt was slightly rolled up toward her upper body, exposing her pubis, which was already dangerous.
It was an atmosphere where even a slight twist would reveal the secrets between them. I slightly averted my eyes.
Aurora had been fanning her hands ever since. It was quite hot because the hat was tightly pressed down and the mask was covering the face.
“If it’s hot, why don’t you take off your clothes, lord? I will pretend not to know.”
Aurora, no, Aurora hesitated for a moment, then took off her hat and mask as if she would not decline. At that shameless appearance, I stuck out my tongue.
“Ah, I think I’ll live a little longer. I thought I was dying of fat.”
“What the hell is this all about in the morning?”
“Why? It’s fun, something like this. I’ve always wanted to try it at least once. Hide your identity and walk around the territory. Until now, I haven’t been able to because I haven’t had a chance.”
The woman who had returned from Aurora, an unknown woman, to Aurora, the shameless lord, said while holding her hat with one hand and holding the string of the mask with her index finger with the other.
“It wasn’t particularly fun from the point of view of being victimized. Didn’t you see what our kids were saying?”
“I am the one giving the money, so what? You can play pranks like this sometimes. tell me if you don’t like it I’ll double your next paycheck.”
“You are so shameless, lord.”
“I have a bit of that side of me.”
Aurora, who showed a smirk, suddenly startled and hurriedly put on a hat and mask. I wondered what was going on, but a woman with a nightmare that lost her wings was walking out from far away.
The woman thumped the weapon in her hand and set it down on the shelf. Round and round, the handle turned in the direction I was in. I went to the counter to see if it was over.
“Are you done?”
“right. It was such a good weapon that I had nothing to do with it. I touched it a few times and it was all over. By the way… … .”
Those narrow eyes scanned Aurora and me in turn.
“Is your neighbor a lover?”
“no.”
I denied it like a knife. It was clear that if he hesitated to answer here, new rumors would immediately spread in all directions. This woman, even at a glance, seemed light-mouthed.
Aurora tugged at my sleeve next to me. Only the eyes were exposed because of the mask, but I could tell that the golden pupils had turned sullen.
“You don’t look like a woman who wields a sword. Why did you bring such a person to a place like this? The love I had will also fall.”
“Originally, I was going to come alone.”
“Ah, then did you fall for the woman? Well, looking at your face, it makes sense.”
‘Don’t you know that the person in front of you is the lord?’
It was very likely. I don’t know the details, but if I hadn’t met Aurora during the settlement process, it would have been natural for me not to know who the person in front of me was.
Regardless of whether it was possible to settle down here without meeting the lord. Can I know the moving process in the Middle Ages?
“Come again!”
I left the smithy while listening to the woman’s farewell. After properly paying for the enhancement cost, the woman no longer mentioned anything related to the delivery quest.
It was a very personal request, based on curiosity anyway. It’s not that the smithy will go bankrupt because you can’t pay off your debt right away if you don’t have that mineral, but simply ask for it out of curiosity.
If there was an urgent situation, I would have considered it, but it wasn’t even that, so there was no reason to listen.
‘If something happened to pass nearby, I’d stop by and pick it up.’
“Where are you going now?”
Aurora, who was next to me, looked up at me. The sullen gaze he showed in the forge was nowhere to be found, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
Maybe they gave up on the aurora concept, but they were just openly using short language. I was debating whether to point it out or not, but decided to just skip it.
I stood still and pondered for a while. Since this in itself was unexpected, I had never thought of a place to go around.
Besides, he was looking at me like that, and sending him back was a bit like that. Gradually, the possibility of Aurora’s feelings for me began to come to mind, so it was a pain in my head for various things.
“Shall we go to the clothing store first?”
“Clothing Store?”
“Yes.”
It was from the thought that if there was a place that sold clothes, there might be at least one or two normal clothes. A no-panty shirt with all the buttons undone.
At this point, I wondered if the combination of white sleeveless and dolphin pants was a fairy. Even if they weren’t wearing underwear, at least they weren’t revealing their genitals.
“Delta, are you buying it for me?”
“Sure. It’s not even my money anyway.”
“You are so shameless, Knight Commander.”
Aurora, who deliberately echoed what I said earlier, tapped my side with her elbow. That’s what I said, but I never hated it.
“… … So, who are you?”
Laxia looked at the woman in front of her with a puzzled face.
The green and purple hair were half mixed, the bottoms were very short but had two large holes in them, almost exposing the pelvis, and the shirt top that looked like it hadn’t enough fabric to make it.
‘I don’t think there’s anything special about the way you dress?’
In general, a person with a deranged mind was deviant in their attire. However, the clothes of the woman in front of him were intact. Apart from the clothes, he was a perfectly normal person.
“Nicks, Nicks. lol… … .”
The woman who introduced herself as Nyx let out a strange laugh as she wiggled her fingers in front of her absurdly large breasts.
Then, as if looking at someone’s notice, he began to look around. Laxia’s doubts grew even bigger. I asked the question without raising my suspicious eyes yet.
“Um, so, you know the relationship with our captain, right?”
“hehehehe. that’s right. We know each other.”
Nyx laughed again grotesquely, and nodded violently, wondering if that would break his neck. Her chest was shaking at an equally violent pace.
It was difficult. It was very difficult. He himself had only recently entered Delta, so there was no way to determine the authenticity of those words.
How could Laxia, who had only met a few days ago, know the knight leader’s human relationship? It was only today that I realized that Delta and the lord of this place had such a relationship.
That’s why it was difficult to kick out someone who was an acquaintance of the knight commander. However, it was difficult to completely rule out the possibility that those words were true.
“Um… … .”
Even while Laksia was agonizing, Nyx constantly rolled her eyes and looked around as if she was suffering from anxiety.
In Laxia’s heart as she watched, the thought of whether it was okay to believe those words welled up. The clothes were normal, but the behavior was abnormal.
“All right.”
“I’m bringing you… … ?”
“It’s something I couldn’t tell you before, but the captain is currently out of town. So if you’d like to wait at the castle, I’ll give you a room. Instead, there will be surveillance attached.”
It would be possible to send someone to pick it up, but as Laxia, she didn’t want to disturb the quiet time of just the two of them. It won’t be too late to report back later.
Maybe he won’t come back today.
“outing… … outing… … Yes. I know.”
To put her nervousness to shame, the woman swayed and stood up. Laxia, who was holding her throbbing forehead, heard the sound of someone talking.
“Now what? Are you going to look for it?”
“Hee, hee hee… … you’re stupid? Then come all the way here and come back again?”
“You came yesterday, but it’s your fault that you came again today!”
“Isn’t it wrong to shut up and agree to come again?”
It was Nix’s voice as he left the room. Laxia was convinced as she watched the full back figure that was gradually moving away.
‘He’s a strange person.’
A strange person was hit.
