193 – A different schedule than expected
#One
National Foundation Day and School Opening Day.
Thanks to that, the days without classes continued from Thursday to Sunday.
Those who go to their families, those who stay and study, those who plan trips with friends, and so on.
The academy, which is always bustling with people, has been quiet for the first time in a while.
Manus hurriedly prepared to go out after training early in the morning in the time he hadn’t had in a long time.
I almost forgot about the appointment time.
I felt that she was growing rapidly, and I was also immersed in Dalian.
‘Keil will wait.’
Waiting for someone wasn’t a very good feeling.
In his previous life, he was always in a position of waiting for someone.
Even at the meeting place, I waited for someone in the cold wind, and I was the first to go to the meeting room and the first to the assignment.
So I knew how boring and hard it was to wait for someone.
His busy hand movements became faster.
At least because of him, it was a specification that there would be someone standing around in such a boring time.
As Manus hurriedly descended, he saw two people.
“You came down early.”
“yes. Today is a very important day.”
“… … hello.”
Perhaps because they were sweating profusely in the morning, Melanie with a fresh face and Kale with a somewhat sullen expression.
Was it because I waited, or did I eat the wrong meal in the morning?
If that’s not the case… … .
‘Right.’
Manus saw Cale’s expression and immediately understood.
I thought it was just the two of us, but was it because Melanie got involved?
That’s why we didn’t know each other very well.
The solution to this situation was simple.
Drawing a line in Melanie’s role.
And you just have to tell her that you’re going to use the rest of her time for Kale.
Besides, there was something else that caught on.
‘What is that again?’
With clumsy stealth magic, I saw two people hiding in the distance.
It seemed like he was meticulously wrapped around the buff magic, but there was no sign of it.
Caesar’s mind-set made such magic much more noticeable than without it.
Ugh-.
Manus sighed inwardly and opened his mouth.
It was a procedure to check if Cale had the right information.
“Kale, do you know who I am going to meet today?”
“yes? Just a trader… … .”
“I’m going to see the head of the Harry family.”
“… … yes?”
Her eyes widened.
His head turned to the side, he looked at Melanie once, then at Manus again.
Eventually, as if realizing something, they clapped their hands together.
At the comedy-like development, Manus let out a chuckle.
“Melanie will be heading somewhere else after her errands are over. Cale and I would like to take a tour of the city.”
“No, that’s right. I’ll probably take care of things with my father.”
“okay? lol… … It’s good, no, it’s a pity.”
“Ugh, don’t say anything you don’t mean, have a good date with your senior.”
Melanie smiled and patted Cale on the shoulder.
Cale lowered his head.
It was to hide the face that was blushing because of the emotion I didn’t know whether it was shame or happiness.
She turned around and said.
“Oh, let’s go!”
“Melanie.”
“yes yes?”
“You come from far away.”
“… … .”
It’s a punishment for not explaining properly.
Manus added the last words and moved his body.
I didn’t want to create unnecessary misunderstandings, so it wasn’t awkward to cut it out.
It always is.
Misunderstandings come from poor communication.
It was the frustration Manus felt in various media.
I saw Melanie, who had been punished rather than punished, drooping.
But, well, if I had explained it properly in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.
‘It’s self-employed.’
A total of five people, including the two people following from afar, headed for the big city: Labyrinth.

“what? Kale?”
“Ah, senior.”
“You’re out in the city.”
“yes. Hey, Manus senior and Melanie came together.”
Upon arriving in the city, Cale ran into Alano.
She added that she was out in town shopping for books and training.
“But where are you going?”
“I have something to look at. It will be an important day.”
“much?”
“okay.”
Curiosity floated over Alano’s head.
It’s important to move together.
It was said that it was related to the tower soon.
Manus glanced to the side.
I saw Cale with a nervous expression on her face.
I don’t know what the hell Anais and Pearson were talking about, but let’s just guess.
He decided to keep Alano apart in moderation.
“I’ll let you know at the academy tomorrow. To put it simply, it looks like the Harry family is trying to help us.”
“From the Harry family?”
“Yes, that’s why I came along.”
Alano nodded.
Since it’s a merchant family, it’s probably better to make connections.
Understanding the situation, Alano grinned.
She wasn’t blind at all.
“And who are you dating? Is it kale?”
“It happened. I am also new to the city.”
“Whoops, have fun. I’ll support you, Cale.”
“… … .”
She just bowed her head.
Alano waved that he had something to live for and disappeared.
Cale didn’t say anything, just nodded and nodded.
Why, she didn’t say anything, but a driving situation was created.
In a strange feeling, I couldn’t raise my head.
Still, I felt very good.
A day with senior Manus.
It was also a day I had always imagined.
“Oh, let’s go!”
“okay.”
“Kale, you look very happy.”
“Ugh!”
It was fun to see the blushing face.
Manus headed for his next destination, feeling the leisurely sunlight of the morning.

that time.
Pearson and Anais were also walking the streets chasing Manus and Cale.
I was taken aback when I saw Alano in the middle, but fortunately, she slipped away.
The two of them smiled at the sight.
They followed Manus and Cale, keeping their distance.
So far, it seemed to be going smoothly, but at the moment you don’t know what will happen when and where.
The city was such a place.
Probably quite a few people came to the city.
“Yum… … This is delicious.”
“Aren’t we here to spy on him?”
“Ooh, that’s right. But you have to enjoy it in your own way.”
Anais, who had a lot of snoring from eating skewers sold at street vendors, laughed.
Pearson looked at it and shook his head.
Are you two dating, or are you here to check… … .
Well, this wasn’t bad either.
How long has it been since the two of you played together like this?
Even before entering the academy, we were busy with each other.
Pearson smiled as he watched Anais trudge along.
“Yeah, let’s play together and see each other. do you know Something interesting will happen.”
“Don’t say anything ominous.”
Like that, the two of them looked for fun in their own way, keeping their eyes on Cale, who was far away.
Although the fun was focused on having fun rather than watching quietly.
“Let’s go over there. Since it’s National Foundation Day, there are a lot of festivals.”
“Hey, we now… … no. Okay, let’s go.”
“Come quickly.”
Anais pulled Pearson by the wrist.
Someone who was staring at him smiled and hurried his steps.
The two had no idea.
To think that they were being watched in reverse… … .
You probably won’t find out unless the person in question tells you.

The place where the head of the Harry family was waiting was a large bar.
Legally, from the age of 15, you are an adult, so there was no problem with academy students entering and exiting.
but.
“Hey, pretty student! Would you like to sit here for a minute?”
“The men will pour you a drink! how is it?!”
That there are people who act so vulgarly sometimes.
Cale passed them expressionlessly, but Manus couldn’t.
As he waved his hand, one of the spokesmen was pulled up into the air.
“Huh? Eh, what is this?!”
“I knew that. To the academy students, why… … .”
“Did something vulgar make fun of you?”
Manus threw a word with his blue eyes shining.
Those eyes were so cold that the person floating in the air had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
If I said even one wrong word, I felt like my body would be torn apart.
He looked like a mercenary.
A ferocious face with a shaggy beard and torn scars.
It had a lot of muscle, but it didn’t have mana.
He was just rolling his eyes in fear.
“I don’t want to be stained with bug blood, so let’s do this. If you have any complaints… … Come to Caesar.”
“… … .”
Manus waved his hand casually.
Following that gesture, the mercenary floating in the air flew away.
Leaving behind the mercenary who flew away with a loud bang, Manus disappeared over the stairs.
The murmur grew when the two women ahead of him, Cale and Melanie, asked him if he was okay, and his figure was completely gone.
“Caesar?”
“No, why is Caesar here… … .”
“You must have had black hair, right?”
“That sick. I couldn’t even tell where to wear it and where not to wear it, so it was good.”
I didn’t hear about the fainting mercenary, but most of them said they were lucky.
of course.
There is Caesar, but he didn’t even recognize him and showed his shady feelings.
To be honest, even if I died on the spot, I would have nothing to say.
The shop owner, furious at the uproar, strode forward.
A mercenary who had just been blown away and passed out.
Approaching those supporting him, he spoke ferociously.
“hey.”
“huh?”
“right now. here. go away.”
“what?! No bro, why are you like this, between us.”
One head taller than them, a mass of muscle.
The frying pan, which was large but seemed infinitely small compared to his size, swung around.
towards the exit.
He growled and drove the mercenaries away.
“What time of the day are you going to flirt fearlessly with academy students, huh? What’s there? Caesar?”
“… … no, that’s it.”
“If you tell me it’s because of the alcohol, I’ll wake you up right away. with this.”
he said, tapping the frying pan.
Right after that, I heard that the group left the store lonely.

2nd floor of the pub.
The place where Manus, Melanie and Cale arrived was a very quiet place.
No matter what kind of magic was used, the noise coming from below was completely blocked.
man sitting there.
He looked at Melanie and smiled broadly.
It was a part where you could find out who it was at once.
“Come, daughter. In addition, precious guests also came.”
“My name is Kale.”
“This is Caesar Manus.”
Oh oh-.
The Harry family man admired, then stood up and bowed his head.
Manus waited for his words.
“It is an honor to meet Confucius of Caesar. My name is Roderick, the leader of the Harry family.”
Harry Roderick.
He was one of the most popular top lords on the continent and also the head of the Harry family.
The neat-looking man looked at Manus and brought up a story.
“I heard that you want to dispose of the artifact. However, there is something I need to know, so I prepared a place.”
His eyes shone as if to ask Manus to talk.
Why can students obtain artifacts?
I felt it was time to tell the truth.
