Chapter 16 Reunion and Encounter (7)

You pulled my hair with that great power, but I stopped worrying about hair loss, so should I say thank you?

“Of course, on the surface, it means so.”

It was not difficult to understand what the following words meant.

It seems that there are people following the little boy in an invisible place.

‘It’s a kind of bodyguard.’

There was nothing to detect magical power, but it felt like my heart was getting cold.

If I had done anything to harm him, would I not have been the first stranger to be executed in Bihar by now?

“hahahaha… … .”

After laughing for a while, when Centler gave an easy answer, he remembered what he wanted to ask.

“This is an unexpected question, but did anything bad happen with Temoria or Livel?”

Hesserma’s reaction when we met in front of the resistance headquarters was very strange.

So I asked with a curious mind.

“hmm?”

A look of surprise came to mind when Zentler glanced back.

It was like how I knew that.

“Last year, there was an incident in which the six-year-old eldest son of the Marquis Philome assaulted and killed a child of a plant and a beast.”

The wife of the Marquis Philomet is the eldest daughter of Greg Tembone.

The eldest son who killed the male child in an assault will be the grandson of Greg Tembon.

“At that time, I heard that Lord Horpe personally tore the eldest son limb from limb.”

It is said that the Marquis Philome has quite a lot of prestige within Ferel, and that the Apostle of Temoria is her maternal grandfather, so she stopped right there.

In a word, it means that the Suin side could not retaliate without wanting.

‘In the end, both the prisoner who couldn’t settle his anger and the marquis who lost their son had left behind.’

Hesserma deserves to look troubled.

The story I just heard made one thing clear.

‘If it’s not going to go wrong with Soo-in, I’ll definitely stay away from Greg Line.’

Thanks to an unexpected encounter, I got useful information.

I put the keyword antagonism between the category of prisoner and the name Greg Tembone.

Meanwhile, Chentler, who was walking along the hallway on the second floor, stopped in front of a door.

It seems to be the reception room I was talking about earlier.

I went through the door that Chentler opened and went inside.

“wow.”

It was a room that would make me exclaim.

The mansion is all made of stone, and the corridors are also shiny marble, so I guessed it to some extent.

My eyes were busy when I faced a splendid and antique space that could only come out in a movie.

Zentler politely asked, even while I was busy looking around the room like a country boy.

“Aren’t you marketable? Shall we prepare a meal for you?”

It was around noon when we departed from Earth, but due to the time difference, the sun was already setting in Bihar.

But since I had lunch, I wasn’t hungry.

As I shook my head, Chentler stepped back knowingly.

“Then, I will prepare a light refreshment for you.”

“thank you.”

“If you need anything, please wave the bell on the table.”

Gentler bowed politely, closed the door, and left.

‘It’s a bit burdensome.’

I stared at the door he left for a moment, then I quickly withdrew my gaze.

Then I looked around the room again.

“I’m serious… … .”

It was what he had thought of from the moment he set foot in this mansion, but it was too fancy a place for the rank of company commander to be used.

The statues erected in the garden were at the level of works of art that you would see in a museum or art gallery, so that’s all I said.

It was to the point where I wondered if this should be designated as a cultural property.

‘My eyes were really busy while carrying the kid on my shoulder and coming in.’

Was this wealth based on his social status as an apostle?

‘There’s something strange about that…’ … .’

It’s because Chentler called Rashar a lady.

Shouldn’t she be treated as an apostle if she was to enjoy this wealth because of her status within the Order?

In addition to that, the Palao’s temple I saw also instigated a sense of incongruity.

Didn’t you say that part of the building was closed because there were not enough people to manage the facility?

The temple looks like that, but the apostle enjoys revelry and riches?

‘I didn’t seem like that kind of personality.’

Then, one conclusion.

‘Private money.’

It is personal property. that is to say.

“Sniff sniff.”

It means that Rashar smells like a golden spoon.

“hmm… … .”

Why don’t you support the temple you belong to when you live so well?

I looked around the room and thought about it for a while.

‘My dear… … ‘

Maybe Lashar doesn’t have the Bennet family wealth at his disposal.

‘Because it’s not the entire family that inherits the manor, it’s the individual.’

That means there is a separate person in charge.

It is likely to be one of Rashar’s parents or siblings.

‘It is certain that at least there is a blood relative higher in the hierarchy than her.’

After organizing my thoughts there, I sat down on the sofa.

‘Wassi, look at the leather.’

Really soft. There was a kind of comfort that made you bury yourself deeply.

What happened after that was largely to blame.

* * *

The tea with the name I had never heard of in my life was bittersweet yet savory, and it fit quite well in my mouth.

The moderately sweet and crispy cookies were also delicious.

Thanks to that, what was supposed to be one drink became a kettle, and what was meant to be only one drink became a plate.

Delicious snacks, warm tea, and a sofa that keeps taking away your tension.

It was enough conditions for me to fall asleep without even realizing it.

In fact, in such a comfortable situation, I had no choice but to sleep.

I only slept for an hour because the notification that the server was connected popped up this morning.

Not having a good night’s sleep isn’t a big deal, though.

It was just that I felt less tired, not that I didn’t need sleep.

Perhaps to make up for the lack of sleep time, my body fell asleep on the soft sofa as a friend.

Of course, it was a momentary peace.

It was because I ate a lot of chocolate and woke up in a panic because of Belta, a kid who came into the drawing room.

– Hey, don’t scratch!

Do you think my head can be my nest?

Why do you keep climbing on my head while leaving the sofa in good condition?

As I was bothered by him, Chentler knocked on the parlor door again.

– Mr. Kay, aren’t you hungry?

Maybe it was because I woke up, but I felt a little hungry, so I nodded and the food came out.

Full course from appetizer to dessert.

It was more delicious than I thought, so I ate it a little harder.

I also took care of the little ones who kept climbing over my shoulders or my head.

-Don’t eat it with your hands, it’s on my clothes!

I had no choice but to avoid overcooking the food.

Even though I tried so hard, the sauce got on my hair, but it wasn’t such a bad time.

While wiping his face with a wet towel, he heard from Centler the behind-the-scenes story that Belta’s mother and the Bennet family had been in frequent exchanges for a long time.

Thanks to that, I also got information that the Bennet family is currently having smooth exchanges with the beastmen.

I was tapping my stomach with a satisfactory result and suddenly looked at my watch.

It’s already been 4 hours since I came to this mansion.

The orange sky dyed by the setting sun has long since gone dark.

Even so, Rashar doesn’t come.

I asked Chantler because I wanted to know when he would come.

-sorry. Lady Rashar is not at the Church Headquarters or at the Harvon Shrine.

-You asked for an answer right away when you come back, so why don’t you wait a little longer?

The answer came back that they could not be reached.

‘Where are you going around like this, leaving your house on vacation?’

Of course, it wasn’t uncomfortable.

It was quite comfortable for stepping into an ownerless house.

‘No, actually, it wasn’t quite right.’

I didn’t even notice the time passing, so it must be considered very comfortable.

I was a little bewildered because I never thought that I would enjoy this kind of luxury in Bihar.

So that’s how I feel. Is there an empty room in this spacious mansion?

‘It takes magic to exchange money.’

The currency exchange function newly established in the shop window also costs mana.

‘It’s best if you can sleep here overnight.’

It was magic that was like blood, perhaps even more valuable than blood.

The body can produce it on its own if you eat enough blood, but mana doesn’t come for free.

If you can save it, shouldn’t you save it?

Having made my decision, I took my thighs and carefully laid down the sleeping Belta.

After shaking the bell, I just left the room because I was afraid that the sleeping child would wake up.

‘If I wake up, only I will have a hard time.’

Since we met in front of the temple, the time we suffered was longer than the time we were not suffering.

I can’t pay you back for a little kid pulling my hair.

‘It’s best to avoid it.’

I slipped out of the room and looked around the empty hallway.

I couldn’t use a bell, so I thought of asking someone to work for me and let me meet Chentler.

Shouldn’t I ask if I can stay for a day?

If you say no, you have to go out and find a place to live.

But it’s late, so no one is visible.

I didn’t meet anyone on the way to the central staircase leading to the hall.

‘Should I call it by fostering?’

It was very inconvenient not having a cell phone.

‘Lashar isn’t a player, so I can’t even chat… … .’

I stopped thinking and froze in place.

‘for a moment.’

I went to the church’s website just in case.

Then I turned on the organization chart and pressed the name of Rashar.

No new window opened or anything.

‘I can’t add friends or chat.’

It was regrettable to give up right away, so I entered the community page dedicated to the church.

And I posted it in an empty place.

「Title: Rashar, where are you? – By : K

Content: I’m waiting for you at your mansion, why aren’t you coming? I’m dying of waiting.”

I am the only player who still belongs to the church. So there’s no way the views will go up.

‘It goes up.’

It also keeps going pretty fast, every refresh.

The surprise didn’t end there.

-Lashar Bennett: Sleep 1@#%!

“… … .”

A name with a sentence meaning an apostle from the organizational chart, obviously Rashar is correct.

I don’t understand the contents of it at all, but it’s definitely a comment.

‘I think he recognized that I was in the mansion… … .’

Then all we have to do is wait for her to come back.

Looking around, I saw a suitable place.

A place leading from the central stairway to the hallway on the second floor.

There was a chair and a small table with no backrests by the window protruding outward in a slightly round shape.

‘It’s like a waiting room.’

Once there, I sat down.

A few minutes to wait with legs crossed and arms crossed.

Since leaving the temple, the magic detection that was turned on like a habit took a lot of magic.

Even though I couldn’t distinguish magical powers, I was certain that it was Rashar.

“K, butler, Kay, butler!”

Unsurprisingly, after the mana approached at a terrifying speed, a familiar voice filled the mansion.

“Where is Kay?! K!”

She was going up the stairs on the west side, not the one on the east side of mine.

I blinked as I watched her stride forward.

‘What the hell happened?’

Even after a few days of camping, her blue hair, which had calmly subsided, was almost scattered.

I was bewildered, but once I pretended to be looking for me.

“Hey, this way.”

Rashar, who was climbing the western stairs, looked back at the speed of light.

“K!”

The momentum was so vicious that I had to unknowingly make my shoulders tremble.
