“I wish you could tell me more about that story”

“…Huh?”

Mario blinked his eyes like a toad.

He paused for a moment, desperately trying to figure out the situation.

Who is she? A black-haired beauty. But I’ve seen her somewhere…

He wasn’t wearing armor, but his chest was still big.

There is a sword on his waist, is it for self-defense?

But this guy really looks like the Gloria captain I saw over my senior’s shoulder a long time ago…

At that moment, Hild said, pulling out a chair next to the table.

“Sit down first, Stasia”

“Okay”

Oh, I see!

It wasn’t a look-alike, it was Stacia herself.

Mario with an aha- gesture.

“Kiyoooot! Captain. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you! ”

He immediately nodded his head.

If you look closely, it’s like gossiping in front of the person involved.

A merchant is someone who lives by his tongue and dies by his tongue.

Mario has seen dozens of times his seniors end their lives (and, surprisingly, their actual deaths) because of one wrong move on his tongue.

There are many advices that are like taboos that are common to merchants, such as, “Don’t open your mouth carelessly,” “Don’t bet if you’re not sure,” etc.

Many merchants believed it, but Mario, a natural storyteller, told it to a friend he liked after a long time.

It turned out that I had put down quite a lot of things.

Srrrrung-

You can tell without even looking at it. This is the sound of a sword being drawn.

Mario watched the lantern, wiping away the tears welling up through the gaps in his hands.

Oh shit, this is how I die.

While watching the Kaleidoscope, I saw a senior who got his balls blown off in an instant after making a mistake in the mouth of a famous prosecutor.

The senior said, ‘Welcome. This is your first time being beheaded.’

If I had known this would happen, I would have done it when my wife asked me to have a third child.

Also, when I was faced with death, I thought about the sex I had with my wife that I couldn’t have.

This time, if I survive, I promise to have a third child.

Honey, our daughter. Daddy goes first, damn it.

Mario closed his eyes tightly.

“Oh my, what are you doing in front of other people”

“…No, I’m going to peel the fruit”

Oing?

The neck that should be flying away is still intact.

And the atmosphere isn’t as bad as I thought?

Mario glanced up and opened one eye to check the situation.

Hild was scolding Stacia, who had drawn her long sword.

Oh my gosh, is this the level of scolding Gloria’s captain…?

What was even more surprising was that the manager was cutting the apple with an embarrassed expression.

Anyone who saw it would be furious, but it seemed like they were watching a wife pretending not to care when her husband nagged her.

Ugh-

As soon as I realized that I was alive, my body lost all strength and tears flowed down my face.

“You know what I really like, Hild? I felt it from the moment we first met. You and I are definitely destined partners”

“Hey, seriously! I don’t like that guy. Why is he like this!”

Hild pushed away Mario, who was clinging to her in a huff.

Mario, who came back from the dead, ordered food in a cheerful manner.

They say that when a person overcomes a great ordeal, he or she grows.

His pockets also got bigger and money flowed out like water.

Oh right, now that I’m alive, I have a wife and a third child…

Mario thought deeply.

Oh, let’s have the third one next time!

Maybe having a third one is scarier than death…

“Here comes the food”

The boy who took my order had a hard time placing a plate bigger than my head.

After that, a girl employee came walking towards me, tottering.

“Oh, enjoy your meal…”

“Enjoy your meal”

The two siblings put down their food and greeted each other in an awkward pose.

Even as he was hesitating and backing away, I could tell what he wanted without even looking at him.

Hild smiled happily and moved her hand as if to tell her to come over.

The siblings smiled brightly and approached Hild.

“Yonsuk, are you saying you forgot what Hyung-ah gave you earlier?”

“Ah, that…that…took, took it off…”

“…What?”

It was stolen? How much money was it? Who took it?

Hild asked with a bewildered look on her face.

“Who took it?”

“Hey, that hyung over there…”

The boy pointed his finger cautiously at someone in case someone saw him.

As we continued along that direction, there was a man who looked like a quiet person.

He wasn’t that tall, but judging from the way he acted, he seemed like he had been working at the inn for quite some time.

“Did that pug-haired brat steal it?”

“Yes… That guy is like the boss… He always checks my belongings before I go into the kitchen”

You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but he really is a quiet fellow.

Hild sniffed and blew out breath.

Despite this appearance, the body calls itself a hero generator to save the world.

He had an extraordinary sense of justice.

“Here, take this”

Hild took out a heavy gold coin from her bosom and stuffed it into the boy and girl’s pockets.

The siblings’ pockets were bulging heavily without even looking.

“Charles, come here”

“Yes, Master”

Then he called in the shadow warrior who claimed to be a specialist in infiltration, assassination, and poisoning.

“You know even if I don’t say it, right?”

“I’ll show you hell”

Charles’s eyes sparkled like a snake’s sharp eyes.

Charles seemed to be very concerned, perhaps because his siblings were around the same age as Lily.

“Okay, let’s go with sister”

“Oh, yes”

“Wow, unnie, your tits are super big”

Charles walked towards Yamsaeng with the boy and girl on his arms.

After that, it’s too cruel(?) and violent(?) so I won’t bother broadcasting it.

Anyway, the quiet employee won’t do anything bad anymore.

“Would you like to finish what we were talking about earlier?”

We’re back on topic again.

Mario, who had been madly inhaling meat while I was blinking, groaned and pounded his chest.

“Okay, water”

Hild held out her water with pitiful eyes.

“Puhaa. Thanks to Hild-nim, I survived. As expected, my benefactor…”

“Can I really hit you once?”

“Okay, now let’s start the story”

Shit, you have to hit him to make him listen.

Mario rested his chin on his hand with a very serious expression.

“In fact, rumors of Gloria’s breakup have been around for some time.

However, no group or organization is safe from rumors. That is why I did not consider this rumor to be very credible among merchants who are sensitive to rumors. ”

“But? It’s different this time?”

“Yes, that’s right. This time the flow is a little different”

“Why?”

Mario glanced at Stacia.

“It’s because of the rumors of the captain’s retirement”

“…What the hell are you talking about?”

“The captain is…a woman…I don’t mean to be discriminatory, but women usually have a marriageable age”

At the word ‘honki’, Stacia’s body flinched greatly.

“What does that have to do with retirement?”

“Women, when you get married… don’t you get pregnant? You can’t conceive a life in your womb and go to the battlefield.”

Oh, that’s right.

This world was different from the 21st century Republic of Korea where I lived.

The age for marriage is fifteen at the earliest, or mid-twenties at the latest.

And usually when you get married, you have children.

Commoners to provide a working force, nobles to continue their name.

Although each had their own reasons, there was a strong perception that marriage and childbirth were essential in this world.

So when women reach the age of marriage and get married, they naturally become pregnant and have to step down from the front lines.

It’s not a discriminatory or anything, it’s just something that’s natural.

In that sense, Stacia is a woman past the age of marriage.

In the past, I was able to overcome retirement and crisis rumors because I was single, but now it’s different.

It is because of the existence of this country.

Stacia wears the ring I gave her on her left ring finger openly.

And today alone, I’ve had two hair-pulling fights.

No matter how much you control and suppress rumors, they will spread.

Rather, faster and more stimulating.

There’s already a guy that Stacia is seeing,

Rumors spread throughout the city that she would marry him and have children.

“Ugh…”

I swallowed and scratched my head.

When I think about it, I am the root cause of that rumor.

‘You were talking too loudly’

Anyone would want to brag about dating someone as amazing as Stacia.

But I should have assessed the situation a bit more.

Stacia looked at the groaning Hild with a pitiful expression.

There’s no need for him to feel so sorry.

She carefully placed hers in his hands.

“…Hilde. I have no regrets. From the day you said that until now. I have been the happiest I have ever been in this world”

“…Thank you for saying that”

Hild tried to smile.

Stacia simply responded by squeezing his hand tightly.

“Did you say Mario?”

“Yes, that’s right”

“I can solve that problem myself. It’s just a rumor anyway. If I just act like I’m doing now, that’ll be the end of it”

“Then, you won’t marry Hild…?”

“I will get married no matter what”

“That, that itself is a problem…”

Mario broke out in a cold sweat without answering.

“Is there another way?”

“We’re having a wedding. If we can make the rumors not rumors, this will be resolved”

Oh, this woman. There she is again.

Mario quickly came to the right answer. She may be the strongest woman on this continent, but

That doesn’t mean you have to be smart. Well, well, well.

The gaze that had lost its gun turned towards Hild.

Now I can only trust this person!

Fortunately, Hild was thinking seriously about it.

“Mario, can you tell me where that rumor first came from? And I’m also curious to know who stands to gain the most from Gloria’s disbandment”

That’s a sharp question. Rumors don’t just spread.

If there is someone who spreads it and someone who suffers damage as a result, there are also those who benefit relatively.

Moreover, these major incidents and accidents tend to have a clear purpose.

Mario smiled without realizing it.

“That’s right. This rumor definitely started spreading about two days ago. I don’t know who started it first, but

You know where it first happened. It was the church.”

“…Church?”

“Yes, the knights are there now”

“Are you talking about the knights of the Holy Nation?”

“Yes”

Olivier, that fucking bitch, looks like she’s already got her butt kicked.

Hild clenched her teeth noisily.

“If the knights are here, that means the saintess might be here too”

“That’s correct”

“Then, who are the people who have been in close contact with the saint in the church where she is currently staying?”

“This is the new Knight Order of Justia. According to the report, they saw a person who is presumed to be a saint accompanying Justia’s leader”

“Heh heh, these fucking bastards…”

Mario’s eyes sank.

He opened his mouth after moving his lips a few times.

“Hild, there has been a large flow of weapons, food, and money from the Justia side recently. Do you know what this means?”

Hild kept her mouth shut.

A suspiciously large amount of money was moved. Weapons and food were purchased.

The second son was pushed out in the power struggle.

“It’s a rebellion”

The clichés that are sorely missed have begun.
