“Are you the owner of the general store here?”

Ariando asked a question to me who was confused.

“If not me, who else would be the owner of this place? But I came here at someone’s request.”

I couldn’t understand why I was asking Ariando, not anyone else, to come to a place like this.

How big does a liver have to be to do something like this?

“Come inside first. “I think I’ve waited a long time, but I’ll give you something to drink.”

I asked Ariando to come in so I could give him something to eat.

“oh. “Thank you.”

I guess I haven’t learned that I shouldn’t go after someone I don’t know who offers me something delicious.

Ariando, who obediently came inside, rolled his eyes as if he was amazed by the general store.

“What kind of fruit juice do you like?”

“I am Orange!”

Okay, reception.

Fresh fruit juice was a drink that Rebecca, Sasha, Franc, and Shine all liked, so I was able to make it with confidence.

“Wow~ I have everything here.”

While I was making fruit juice, Ariando was wandering around the grocery store and looking around.

“Here, sit down and eat.”

Since I couldn’t just give her fresh fruit juice, I also gave her some snacks that Rebecca bought last time but couldn’t finish.

Ariando politely said, “Thank you,” and ate it deliciously.

and then.

“Achaja! I came here because you asked me to do it!”

It seems he belatedly remembered his purpose for coming here.

“What are you asking?”

Ariando rummaged through his arms.

Then he took out a white envelope and held it out in front of me.

“This is it. I asked you to give it to the general store owner.”

“It’s a letter.”

Since Ariando was sent, I thought he had sent something big.

But to my dismay, what came out of his arms was an ugly letter.

“Take it.”

Ariando waved the letter, telling her to receive it quickly.

And then I became absorbed in eating snacks again.

I had no choice but to open the letter to see who had sent it to her.

I wondered who on earth was the person who did such a big thing.

“under… .”

Lightyear, I hoped it wasn’t just you.

I sighed after checking the owner of the letter.

There is no one other than light years away who would do something like this.

I resigned myself to the thought that Ariando’s unique friendliness had already surpassed the Franc level.

‘You can come directly, why did you send him? No, isn’t it normal to at least ask Shine for something?’

I was very curious about the circumstances under which he had to send a letter because he could not come in person.

And after reading the letter carefully until the last line, I decided to approve of her actions.

I’m so embarrassed that my head hurts, but what’s wrong with this guy?

However, I did ask Ariando.

“Is this real?”

“I don’t know what it says, but I’m sure it’s not a lie.”

Then, as written here…

“You left? You just barely sent a letter?”

“Yes. I left a few hours ago. I wanted to get to know you better, but I’m missing something, right?”

“No matter what, I think it’s harsh to take him away right away after talking to him.”

If there was even a little bit of free time, Gwangnyeon would have tried to talk to me directly.

Asking Ariando to deliver the letter meant that there was absolutely no time to do so.

“I think there is a lot of shortage in the treatment field.”

“… hmm. There must be wounded soldiers pouring in. But no matter how urgent it is, this is too serious.”

Blocking the monster wave at this level is a tremendous result.

Of course, countries and nobles who have no idea what would happen if they could not stop it would not think so.

I was worried that the country that wanted to solve the monster wave might be doing too much.

“What is your relationship with Fran?”

“He’s a friend! “Same class!”

Ariando raised his hand as if he was bragging.

“Are you close? Well, since we’re close, I guess I’ll tell you things like this.”

“Hehe. “Right?”

“Then let me ask you a favor for your friend.”

“… “Please?”

“This is a request for the safety of a friend who went to a dangerous place, but is it difficult to listen to it? “Don’t do that.”

I knew very well what kind of kid Ariando was, so I knew how to make him move.

It’s also quite easy to deal with Ariando.

First of all, Ariando would never be able to refuse me when I ask him if he could do a favor for his friend.

“Ah, I can do that! “Just say it!”

just as expected.

Ariando stuck out his chest, saying he could do it.

Even if you show your breasts to Lori, it’s useless to anyone.

“What do I need!”

Just say the word and he will bring everything to you.

I like that, but if you use it like you’re a brat, you’ll get caught in the family and get scolded.

It is necessary to adjust the water level appropriately.

“We will find out where Fran has been dispatched and how the higher-ups are trying to resolve the monster wave. how is it? “Can you do it?”

“I understand the first request, but why are you curious about the second?”

“I think they are trying to overdo it. “I need to find out if Fran is in a safe place and being properly protected.”

“????”

He was probably under a lot of pressure from all over the place.

Hurry up and solve the monster wave.

Even though he knew it wasn’t an easy task, he must have threatened and pressured him to save face.

I was shaking my head under the pressure…

What if you make the worst decision possible?

The scariest thing is an ally who trolls.

‘Still, I thought they wouldn’t use soldiers like expendables since they’re all nobles!’

Was it for no reason that they took therapy students with them?

Isn’t it obvious that they knew that there would be a huge number of injured soldiers in the future and took action in advance?

‘They want to solve the monster wave so desperately that they even conscript students attending the academy.’

The safest way to get rid of a monster wave is to scrape it away with metallurgy over a long period of time.

However, the operation the military is preparing now will definitely not be the operation I had in mind.

It’s probably an ignorant strategy that wouldn’t even be worth swearing at.

Unfortunately, many soldiers who must listen to orders from superiors will not be able to refuse the operation and will be destroyed by monsters.

“Well, while you’re looking into it, it might be a good idea to see if it’s okay if any of your family members are in the military.”

Even for the sake of the scenario’s progress, Ariando’s older sister cannot be prevented from being discharged from the military.

There was no way you would have believed me if I told you in the first place that your sister would get hurt soon and it would be better to prepare, right?

So I decided to show my gratitude to Ariando by giving him just this bit of advice.

“You want to know if my sister is okay? “Do you know something, boss?”

Because you’re the boss… .

I was embarrassed because it was a title I had never heard before in my life, but it felt much better than being called ‘uncle’.

“What do I know? However, since I have lived for so many years, I can roughly understand the situation. “When you start looking from the top down, you tend to get impatient.”

And when you become impatient, it becomes a pain for your subordinates.

“In a situation like this, if you are caught in the middle, you have no choice but to see blood. Those who don’t want to do that are overdoing things and end up in accidents.”

No matter how much you belong to a ducal family, they cannot influence you when you enlist in the military.

In this world, the military’s prestige was that great.

So, even though the second daughter of the duke family had her leg cut off and was discharged from the volunteer army, she could not say anything.

“So, tell them to take care of themselves for the time being. “Then you will take care of yourself.”

In addition, when you return from military discharge, wouldn’t a falling out over entering a room lead to a different result?

It doesn’t really matter whether you have a falling out with your real sister in the game, but in real life, it will be a disadvantage that cannot be ignored.

However, it was even more unpleasant to miss the opportunity to grow stat bonuses.

“Um… honestly, I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I’ll do as you say, boss.”

Ariando jumped up and down in his place as if he was in a hurry and suddenly greeted me.

“Can I go check it out right away? Come on!”

“ok?”

Who wouldn’t be an awakened person?

Ariando disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I looked in vain at the place where Ariando was.

“You’re already gone? I still have something to ask… .”

So why did you come and not Shine?

Unfortunately, I couldn’t ask that question.

* * *

Gwangnyeon’s letter was simply a letter informing him that he had been conscripted and that he would not be able to visit for a while.

You don’t know when you will be able to leave the military, and you probably left without knowing where you are going.

When I enlisted, I tried to take good care of him and send him off, but it was no use.

“When are you going to come back?”

I couldn’t even ask what happened to the cult or whether they dealt with the cult leader… .

I felt strange because I had no idea I would be leaving my first SSR so soon.

“Damn, if only the draw was good!”

I am reminded of the results of last night’s lottery that were ruined.

What will happen when SSR comes out?

You may remember that I said that there are levels in SSR.

last night.

I pulled out two SSRs.

The problem was that all of the SSR characters released were Tier 4.

The result is trash that is not even worth raising.

‘After all, they are also smelly men.’

How sad it would have been if Ariando hadn’t come out… .

Fortunately, Ariando showed up, so even if the SSR lottery was a failure, I was able to finish with my appetite satisfied.

What if 3 mediocre SSRs came out instead of Ariando… .

‘I exaggerated a little too much and I might have shed a tear… .’

Didn’t you waste a whopping 1.33 million won?

Even if I had paid for the game instead of picking it up here, I would have exploded mentally with this result for 1.33 million won.

The most annoying part was that the SSR was too low compared to the amount charged.

‘But Ariando came out.’

In addition, Ariando, whom I saw today, seemed to have a good relationship with Franc enough to accept his request.

There is no need for me to introduce them.

As expected, the title of ‘free hope’ was not earned for nothing.
