211 – What score do you think I have?
“It’s easy. It’s easy. Things are going smoothly.”
Ian, who was lying on the luxurious bed and shaking his legs, couldn’t control the corners of his mouth that were rising and kept humming.
“I was wondering what would happen if there was no response from the other side, but I asked this question very well, right?”
I was wandering around looking for a new place to stay. We heard from an article sent by Nerowa that we had been invited to Saldena as state guests.
He suggested that we set off with him since it was a gathering of the kings of the West. We accepted the offer and stayed the night at a castle in Tuscany.
“By the way… What’s left now is what to believe and what to do…”
I’m just saying this now, but honestly, I doubt whether these guys will invade. Unlike the game, the emperor didn’t turn a blind eye and start a war with the demons.
The Empire’s eyes are wide open, and if it weren’t out of its mind, it wouldn’t dare to rebel.
So, I thought I was wasting my money by using my mouth the wrong way. She thought so….
“There’s definitely something there….”
From noble mtl dot com
No matter how annoying the presence of the warrior party is, it is normal to tolerate it.
‘But you didn’t do that with Nero.’
The feeling I had when I first encountered Nero. It was like watching someone forced to take on something they didn’t want to do. So he must have been so grumpy and sat there.
So I took a peek and what was this? Saldena, who was as still as if she were dead, immediately started to move. And that too in the ridiculous form of being a VIP.
This clearly means that there is something out there, but the intention behind it is completely unclear. How are you doing this?
In cases like this, you can usually get a rough estimate by substituting her demons in their place. They are probably using the King of Saldena to manipulate them.
Anyway, those demons are there to stop you wherever you go.
I said it as if it was no big deal, but if demons were involved, it was not an ordinary thing. Just looking at the most recent incident in Aria, it was the work of demons.
“I guess they called us with the intention of putting us where they can see us…”
It was a bit uncomfortable to think that they were doing whatever they wanted, but in some ways, this could be said to be an opportunity. If you do it right, you can wipe it out on the spot.
“I don’t know. I’ll find out when I go and see.”
I thought that the information I was given now was just a quick review, so I decided to enjoy the feel of the soft blanket for the first time in a while.
“After all, money is good.”
I was always envious of the luxury he enjoyed with other people’s money. When I’m done working in the West, I’ll go back and ask for a spot too.
A time when I sat next to the emperor and smiled at the thought of getting a pension.
-Knock knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
Who is it at this hour?
‘There is someone who will come to me at such a dark time… There was.’
Suddenly, I remembered that I had not yet paid the debt owed to Sonia. No, no matter what. Is this the right thing to do here?
– Fluffy.
Of course, her brainchild was excited to meet her.
Still, I thought it was better than looking downcast like last time, so I pushed him into my thighs and walked toward the door.
“Well, Miss Sonia. I understand how you feel, but it’s a bit weird to do something like this in someone else’s house… Ugh?!”
Before the door could be opened, an arm suddenly came in and covered my mouth.
-Crash.
Then he quickly broke into the room and locked the door.
Why are you locking the door?
At that time, I felt like I had underestimated her s*xual desire and was dizzy about how much I would be squeezed today.
‘Sonia… No… ?’
Bright orange hair came into view.
“Ong-ai?”
Surprisingly, the person who scared me was not Sonia, but a warrior.
She released me only after thoroughly checking her door.
“Mr. Ian.”
A dry voice flowed from her mouth.
“Tell me honestly.”
She looks quite different from her usual 2% fierce side. He is a so-called serious hero.
I’ve never seen her like that except when it was 100% my fault. What did I do wrong again?
“What…?”
I thought she wouldn’t be able to get her money back even if she tried to trick her into this situation, so I erased her smile and asked, and the hero asked me back.
“What are you planning this time?”
***
“You’re making it up… What do you mean by suddenly visiting me?”
At first, Ian was in denial, but she did not give up her doubts.
‘It’s suspicious as expected….’
Around the time when Ian was talking to the King of Tuscany. The warrior felt that something was strange about him.
A person who never tries to step forward and just sticks next to an appropriate target at that time, obliterating his or her presence. Because that was the Ian she knew.
When you do something like that that you were not told to do, there are two cases with a high probability.
They are thinking of running away.
Either they are making plans without us knowing.
The former cannot be forgiven, but the latter cannot be relaxed either. I wonder what kind of danger they are jumping into again this time.
“Don’t try to hide it. At least I knew you were planning something.”
Ian clicked his tongue at the sight of the hero who seemed to never back down until he spoke.
Sheesh. This is why I don’t like quick-witted heroes.
This time, he looked like he was going to do something if I moved alone and secretly, so I decided to tell him straight away.
“Well, it just so happened that I gained some trust from the King of Tuscany.”
“How did it happen?”
The corner of her eye rose high as she crossed her arms. Why are you so scary?
“…I’ll skip over that. Anyway, I’m thinking of using that to approach other kings and talk to them.”
“I’ve been wandering around… Are you really planning on going forward yourself?”
She tries to stop me with an expression that says, “That’s right.”
“Isn’t that too dangerous? We haven’t even properly figured out the enemy’s purpose yet…!”
“Then, warrior. I’m asking just in case. What were you planning on doing?”
“Well, just like we did until now, we’re going to spread out and gather information…”
What time has it been like this?
I shook my head at her seemingly honest plan and said,
“Listen carefully, warrior. If this continues, we will have no choice but to move out of their line of sight. And as soon as we escape, the same thing as yesterday will repeat itself.”
Like the Tuscan knights who invaded our lodgings yesterday morning. Other kingdoms will hold us back in the same way.
“But you’re saying they knew what they were going to do?
“Where I used to live, there’s a saying that if you want to catch a tiger, you have to go into the tiger’s den.”
“But if the tail is long, you can be caught.”
“There is a saying that even if you are captured by a tiger, you just have to come to your senses.”
“What does that mean again…?”
The hero scolded me, saying that if he was captured by a tiger, it would be very difficult for him to return alive.
That’s what they say. Why are you killing someone else’s baby?
“Hero.”
I put on a serious expression and looked straight into the hero’s eyes.
“It’s me. The brain of the warrior party.”
I seemed to have forgotten about it, perhaps due to the lack of activity these days, so I took the time to solidify my position.
“Do you find me so untrustworthy?”
“Did you do that…?”
What is that look in your eyes that says you are hearing it for the first time? Was it just me who thought that?
He said so, but the warrior’s eyes were seen shaking. That’s how it should be. How many years have we spent eating and sleeping together?
To be honest, I can’t say that I didn’t see Dojugak at all here. Because I also desperately wanted to live on the beach in Jeju Island in the summer.
If the conditions were a bit better, I thought about settling down there, considering it my third hometown, but my current conditions aren’t very good for that. Not only is there a problem with Thalia’s magic, but there is also a problem with Sonia.
So, I can say that my desire to finish quickly and return to the capital is more sincere than anyone else.
“Yes, I believe it, but…”
But it seems that my sincerity does not reach the hero. This won’t work.
“Then, please give me a number from 1 to 100. How much faith you have in me.”
“You mean this suddenly…?”
In times like this, it’s best to ask directly. That’s what a person is. They tend to give generous points to unexpected and sensitive questions.
“Come on.”
“Umm…”
The hero falls into trouble when I urge him to. What’s the point of worrying about this? Shouldn’t it jump to 100 points right away?
Her worries continued for a long time.
Finally, she opened her mouth.
“…I guess it’s around 85 points.”
Oh. Is it higher than you thought?
It’s a pity that the score isn’t 100, but it’s still a decent score and I’m thinking that’s okay.
“…I’m saying I don’t believe it that much.”
I couldn’t help but feel saddened by her next words.
This is a bit hurtful to me as well.
