by fnovelpia“Hey. soldier. I want to see the lord’s face, so take me away right away.”
There was a calm as if the storm had passed.
The security guard, who had been so energetic just a moment ago, was unable to utter a single word due to the intimidating appearance. In that state, Hysterion recklessly dragged the guard captain with him.
“Okay then, let’s go.”
“Ugh. Now, wait-”
“It’s noisy. Have all the guards follow behind you. Don’t stay here and cause trouble.”
“Quuk!… ”
“Oh, indeed. That kind-hearted young lady there. We’ll see each other again.”
He turned around and waved goodbye to Ronica, then grabbed the guard by the collar and took her away… No, he was arrested.
Just like that, the guards and Hysterion disappeared from the slum without any chance to intervene.
“What happened now?… .”
“… Well.”
Ronika and Rowen looked at each other in confusion. I would have never imagined that the old man who helped me yesterday would bring a driver to take care of it.
Same goes for me.
I never would have thought that you would disappear just to see my lord’s face.
This is so… .
I need to change my thinking.
I only thought that Ronica’s kind heart would be an obstacle to becoming stronger.
no.
You can become stronger.
Under the premise that we are not alone, but together.
I nodded in satisfaction.
I guess I can’t just look at it as a bad thing.
‘I also like that old man who eagerly returns the favor.’
The spirit of showing up at just the right time and dealing with the lord directly.
How nice it is to have less work to do.
“Sniff.”
“Umm… I don’t know what it is, but the nigger seems to like it, so that’s it. You said we’d see you later, so let’s stop here for today and head back.”
“Okay. That should be it… But why are about half of the drivers surrounding us? … .”
“Uh… That’s right.”
In response to Rowen’s question, I also looked around. Hysterion and the guards were gone, but some of the knights he had led still remained nearby.
At a time when doubts were growing, a driver who appeared to be the leader quietly approached here.
“It is an honor to meet you. I heard that you are Hysterion’s benefactor. We, the Goliath Knights, want to protect our benefactor until Hysterion returns. Please allow me.”
“… … … Yes?”
A sudden escort of knights.
Although somewhat embarrassed, Ronica quickly regained her composure and asked her questions.
“I… So Hysterion is that old man? What on earth is this? .”
“Hysterion is the owner of the Goliath caravan and an honorary count. You will be hearing this often from now on, so it would be good to know.”
In “… .”
Ronica made a bewildered expression, and Rowen gasped! He opened his mouth wide as if he was surprised.
“That person was Hysterion!?”
“Are you a great person?”
“It’s very famous!! He is one of the most successful merchants who has so much money that he donates a large amount of money and even attains the rank of earl. You can live in this city if you want, right?”
“… … … What!!?
Ronica screamed at Rowen’s explanation.
Who would have thought that the grandfather who walked around the slums crying and holding his granddaughter was such a big deal?
Afterwards, Ronica covered her mouth with both hands and made a fuss for a while, embarrassed, asking if she had told such a person that he looked like he had no money.
*
“What’s going on?… .”
“Well.”
Ronica and Rowen, who returned to Venus Headquarters, swallowed their doubts once again.
The two looked blankly at the building right next to Venus.
“Bring the supplies quickly!!”
“Going. Let’s go~”
bang. bang. bang.
“Tsk!!”
Noisy construction work was in full swing.
Workers are moving materials and removing collapsed buildings to build a strong framework.
A frame much larger than the Venus headquarters.
“What on earth… .”
“What kind of construction is going on in the slum… … .”
Should we build a villa or something?
Venus organization members also came outside and looked at the construction site with similar expressions.
“Ah! My benefactor!!”
At that time, a girl came running here.
It was Andro, Hysterion’s granddaughter.
The guy smiled brightly at Ronica and said.
“Thank you so much for your help yesterday! My grandfather said that when he saw that I was sick, he came running and treated me personally?”
“Ah… .”
Then he grabbed Ronica’s hands and jumped up.
“I really wanted to meet you! It’s really nice to meet you.”
“Uh, yes… .”
“Oh, indeed. I’m so happy to see you… My name is Andro.”
“Oh, no. I was just surprised that I was so energetic and the atmosphere seemed different from yesterday. Anyway, I’m really glad you’re safe. My name is Ronica!”
A sudden meeting and a loud statement.
Soon, the two shook off the awkwardness and continued their conversation.
The contents are roughly as follows.
thanks.
It’s no big deal.
Still, thank you.
It was something that had to be done.
I love it so much I don’t know what to do!
I’m glad you like it so much!
My ears hurt from the confusing conversation.
I seriously wondered if I should take refuge on Rowen’s shoulder next to me.
“I think we have a good fit!”
“Me too!!”
The two talked about various things and quickly became close friends and stopped talking. Afterwards, we talked about the identity of the building being built next to Venus.
When I heard it, it seemed to be the new upper branch of Hysterion.
“You’re building Goliath’s upper branch here?”
“Yes. Grandpa said he would definitely build it here. Then I can stay here too. So Ronica can come and visit anytime!”
“There was no sign until the morning… Isn’t the momentum too fast!?”
“My grandfather was always like that. Once plugged in, it runs right away. After Ronica left, Grandpa had the butler buy and decorate this place.”
“Hey… Whatever it was, it was really good. Most of the people here are men, so it was so stuffy!”
“Hehe.”
“Kehehe~”
It’s a bit noisy, but… .
A student who was this talkative wasn’t bad either.
okay.
Become closer.
If he becomes close to the granddaughter who won’t hurt Hysterion’s eyes, he won’t be able to just watch Ronika’s crisis.
If you build a relationship, it will help you forever.
“But what is that cute thing on your shoulder?”
“Ah! Are you talking about a nigger?”
“Black? It’s so cute~ Can I hug you once?”
As I sat happily for a moment, Andrew looked at me with his eyes sparkling.
An annoying smell.
“That’s… You should listen to the nigger.”
“You have to listen to me?”
There is nothing to hear.
“Sniff~”
Being loved by someone?
That doesn’t suit me. Even just one being that can be treated like that is too much.
“Hey~ They say they don’t like black people.”
“… really? Is it possible to talk?”
Ronika put her hands on her waist and said, wondering what she was so proud of.
“Me and Blacky are family!”
“Family?… Are you treating it with great care?”
“Yes. Negroes are very dear to me. No matter how much I try, I can’t give it up easily.”
“Woo… I’m jealous.”
Afterwards, the two went into chatting mode again.
It was a match made in heaven, jumping up and down and talking to each other no matter how long ago it had been since we met.
“Kaang. Kang.”
“Oh. okay. Let’s go in first and rest.”
I thought the conversation would never end if it continued like this, so I decided to go in first.
Ronica, who always wanted to stay with me, didn’t come along for some reason. Then we moved to our seats and chatted for over two hours.
‘I guess I need to take a little nap.’
I was still feeling tired from being forced to raise my level to 6 stars yesterday.
“Corolong~~”
So, I tried to sleep on the bed in the third floor room.
*
[lol. Artrot. Let’s play with me~]
[How can you cling to me so much on such an empty day? You mean thing. Get away now. Before freezing.]
[But, but!… Do I like Artrot? You blew away all the spirits that were bothering me! Artrot is so cool and respectful!! I also want to be like Artrot.]
[Hmm… Arthur. Even if you try your whole life, you won’t be able to catch up.]
Tower 24th floor spirit world.
A small spirit with blue hair.
Ice Mountain Lord Attrot.
Atrot, who once lived as a god on the 98th floor, listened to and accepted every word of the dwarf spirit whose feet were on the ground, even though he showed signs of displeasure.
Because he was the only one who came to me and told me about life here.
Whenever I didn’t know anything, I always got information from this guy.
‘It was a little helpful, so I won’t particularly freeze it.’
But do you know that you are giving that spirit a deep affection without even knowing it?
Maybe she’s arrogant and has a lot of pride, so she doesn’t know.
Unless something special happens… .
… … … .
… … .
… .
Jump up.
woke up from a dream
“Cologne… .”
I shook off the drowsiness and analyzed the dream I had just had.
This is already the 4th time.
I didn’t say it, but since my regression, I’ve often had dreams of Atrot.
Is it really just a dream?
or not… .
Is it true?
There’s no need to worry.
I got up from the bed and looked around the room.
Ronica hasn’t returned to the room yet. It seemed like he was still chatting with Andrew.
‘It’s comfortable to be free, but… .’
Something is missing.
fault!
Squeak~
I leapt to the doorknob of my room and simply opened the door, went out into the hallway and walked for a while.
A cackling sound is heard from a nearby room.
I opened the door and went in.
Two girls were sitting on two sofas with a table and chatting.
“Not everyone shows it, but they all have an invisible faith… … oh!! Geomduaaaa!!~”
Ronika, who noticed me, smiled brightly and jumped up, spreading her hands.
I jumped lightly and jumped into its arms.
“Hehe~ You’re awake. I think I feel safe when I have a black man next to me.”
“Sniff~”
After all, it’s cozy here.
“Wow… I opened the door and came in alone. Plus, he was held so cutely!!”
Across from me, Andrew looked excited and fussed when he saw me.
It seemed like we had become very close while we were asleep.
When you think about it… .
Even my students were surprised like that at first.
I really met a similar friend.
“Our black guy is a genius. You can do anything, not just open doors!”
“Really?… Then is it possible to dance or sing?”
“Ah!… I’ve never seen that… … .”
In response to Andro’s question, Ronica looked down at me.
Then, as if he had imagined something, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed his saliva.
“Sniff… … .”
I glanced over and saw that both Andro and Ronica were looking at me with sparkling eyes.
Is it an unspoken pressure to dance and sing? .
This… It’s very burdensome.
smart.
“Can I come in?”
Just then, a savior came.
Hysterion, who had been taken away by the guards earlier, came back unharmed.
“Oh. Grandfather came.”
“Hysterion Grandpa? Please come in.”
Squeak~
“Hehe. It’s nice to see you again. My beautiful granddaughter and kind-hearted young lady. I thought heaven didn’t suit me, but this is heaven.”
“Grandpa too!… .”
“Ugh… I said those words like nothing.”
That guy.
Have you already met the lord?
You get the job done quickly.
I was curious about the reason for the hysterion, so I slowly climbed onto his shoulder to check on the situation.
The guy naturally sat down next to Andrew.
“kkk. Strangely, when I look at the little lady, I feel good, like I’m seeing my granddaughter.”
“I… Thank you for stopping the security guard earlier. I had no idea that he was the owner of a famous top.”
“It’s nothing special. I’ve told the fat pig lord well, so he won’t bother me any more. I have more to say than that, is it okay?”
“Fat pig lord?… Ah yes! Of course it’s okay. What are you talking about?”
Are you trying to get straight to the point?
The moment Ronica answered, the hysterical atmosphere suddenly changed.
Sharp eyes.
Penetrating eyes.
The kind grandfather disappeared and turned into a veteran. Next to him, Andrew seemed familiar with this scene and shook his head, saying, “Grandpa, it’s started again.”
Just like that, Hysterion opened his mouth.
“I heard that selling the treatment without measures was not enough, so they secretly distributed the treatment on the streets at night.”
“Yes? How could that be… .”
“It was reckless. Doing good is more difficult than doing bad. Good deeds can only be done properly if you are cold-hearted.”
In “… .”
“Good deeds given in one place are self-satisfaction. Moreover, when it comes to money, there are many people who kick out grace. Have you thought about it?”
“Ah… no… … .”
“It’s not that your good nature is bad. It points out that the method and plan were wrong when handling a task. You were almost captured by the lord of this place.”
“Yes… .”
What is it?
This scene.
Suddenly come and scold me?
Of course, I am not saying this because I dislike Ronica.
Because he is the benefactor of a granddaughter who is like a treasure.
In other words, everything was said for Ronica.
‘this guy… ‘He’s a pretty good guy.’
I nodded.
Look.
What Hysterion said are what I wanted to say to Ronica all this time.
The guy pointedly pointed out that.
They’re probably trying to let Ronica know the seriousness of the situation and have her come up with a plan.
“Heeing… .”
Logical scolding.
As the fact flew straight at him, not even Ronica of the world could refute it.
The exact opposite situation from yesterday.
Soon, he glanced at me.
It’s a look in their eyes that hopes for salvation.
I’m sorry.
Swish.
“Gasp!!?… … .”
As I looked away, the guy turned gray and froze.
It hurts, but… .
When will there be another opportunity like this?
“Even if you weren’t a lord, there would be more than one person targeting you. Maybe an assassin will come at night and threaten you to come up with a cure. You do not know the value of this remedy.”
“… … To… .”
Disciple.
Listen carefully.
I think he is a great life teacher.
