“It seems like unusually strange things often happen around you. “I didn’t even know there were bad spirits.”

I laughed when I heard Shine’s words.

Am I not creating something amazing?

That’s only because the academy itself is the center of scenarios.

Moreover, the people around me were all the main characters of the incident.

But to the kids, it seemed like I was the start of everything.

“I guess I just got caught up.”

“Don’t you get caught up too often? That’s the funniest thing he says. “When I say he’s an ordinary general store guy.”

To be honest, I’m really just an ordinary general store guy.

The reason I get caught up in all sorts of complicated things is because the kids around me are so special.

‘It’s not for nothing that people say we should get along with each other.’

In the future, all the people I will hang out with will be special.

So, I felt like I should now introduce myself not as an ordinary general store guy, but as a somewhat suspicious general store guy.

“Then, from now on, can I call you a suspicious general store guy instead of an ordinary general store guy?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to be special than to be suspicious? “When you say it’s suspicious, it feels a bit negative.”

Food Duck!

“Oh.”

Damon, who was momentarily caught in his grasp, suddenly flapped his long wings and attempted to escape.

It seems he was deliberately waiting for me to let down my guard, but unfortunately, I was watching without letting my guard down.

It seemed to me that they would try to escape by taking advantage of this moment to let their guard down.

“Where are you going to run away? “I guess I’ll have to put it back in.”

Shine, who was momentarily startled, urged him to put it in quickly.

“Go ahead and put it in!”

Food Duck! Food Duck!

Pretty eh!

“It’s okay because I’m holding it well.”

With a long way to go, it was necessary to prepare for unexpected situations.

That’s why the locking device is stronger than ever.

After finally putting Damon back in the box, I sighed and massaged my aching wrist.

That guy, whenever he gets a chance, he drains my energy, and he also drains Shine’s energy earlier, and his power has become quite strong.

“I guess I hope there’s something useful in the family storehouse.”

“Do I think it exists?”

What can I say about the greed of nobles?

Many relics were lost in the process of evacuation due to the contaminated area, but on the other hand, valuable items must have been taken with them as if they were evil.

“Well, things that seem completely useless to me may look different in your eyes.”

“Maybe so. “It’s difficult to find the value of old items.”

In particular, the records lost during the evacuation process are also the cause of this situation.

“There’s no way there’s anything in the warehouse of a noble family with a long history, so take a close look.”

“Is there anything you can do to help me?”

“I think if you look for it, you’ll find at least one. “There’s still a lot of equipment left to equip other than weapons.”

“That’s right.”

Currently, only the weapons have very high specifications, but other parts of the equipment also needed careful attention.

So we both continued our journey in the carriage, filled with anticipation.

I communicated quite well with Shine and had many meaningful conversations.

Shine was the first SSR I picked, so I had a special fondness for it.

Moreover, even though he is an SSR character, didn’t he go so far as to show that he went beyond the limits of his birth as a low tier character?

Who could look at the current Shine and say that it is tier 1.5 or 2?

From what I see, the current Shine is Tier 1.

“Actually, I asked you to plan how to train during vacation, but I didn’t expect you to come visit me so soon. “I had no idea the reward would be so good.”

Shine wanted to pay for the weapons with his own money.

Officially, Shine still has weapons on loan from me.

However, if you do well with this opportunity, not only will you be able to pay for the weapons, but you will also be able to make a lot of money.

Thalia said she would take good care of me, but it was thanks to her that she took much more than I expected.

“What you are doing is so valuable.”

“I’m worried about whether we can do something so great, but I’m not worried about catching monsters. “I’m confident I’ll do well.”

Although I had developed this level of skill, it made no sense to worry about catching monsters.

“It will be physically difficult to go around various territories and fight monsters, and the nobles will not leave you alone. “The situation has changed, and the prices of talented awakened people are skyrocketing.”

Currently, these children are called ‘Talia’s Vault’.

Didn’t they declare that they would clean up contaminated areas in the future?

There was no way she would have suddenly decided to do such a big thing, so the rumor was that the secret weapon that Thalia had been secretly preparing for a long time had finally been revealed to the world.

‘There’s no way I would miss the opportunity to see such a secret weapon up close.’

Still, it would be easier to deal with nobles than me.

Aren’t these people raised as nobles from the moment they were born?

“What is there to worry about when Ariando is there? Honestly, if Ariando said he didn’t like it, he wouldn’t be able to say anything, right? Plus, we also have Vine.”

Shine expressed confidence, saying that because the background of the unit members was so diverse, such nobles’ tricks would be kicked to the ground.

After hearing Shine’s dignified words, I felt proud that I had raised him well.

Of course, I haven’t raised him since he was a baby.

“The most important thing is that there is no waste of movement. Although it was a long distance, the route was planned very well. I think we’ll just have to follow the directions and catch monsters.”

“The commander said he would take care to make sure you guys didn’t have a hard time, and he really took great care.”

“yes! And if the nobles keep bothering me, I’m thinking of saying I’m busy because I have to move on to the next territory. “By arresting us just because your territory has been resolved, you’re causing damage to your next territory, right?”

“yes.”

“That’s what I say when that happens. When you go to the next territory, what do you want me to say when people ask me why I’m so late? I say so. Then wouldn’t they freak out and let me go?”

“If I were that noble, I would let you go right away.”

“Hehe, right?”

Many nobles must have been clamoring to solve the monsters in their territory first, but Thalia made a plan for the children to go to a place with good movement routes for their convenience.

If the nobles’ voices had been listened to even a little, such an easy movement would not have been possible.

The fact that there was a neat movement line was in itself a testament to Thalia’s skills.

‘It didn’t stop there, the compensation was really generous.’

He even made a promise to pay a generous amount of compensation to each territory that solved the problem.

No matter how much money a child may have, isn’t it a different story to work and not get paid properly?

I felt at ease thanks to Thalia’s neat and perfect work.

I was able to have faith that the children would spend their vacation well and come back when they had grown up.

“how is it?”

Shine looks at me with bright eyes.

I nodded to the majestic Yeongju Castle.

“awesome.”

“It’s even cooler when you go inside.”

There was a castle there that looked similar to the huge castle of Hogwarts and X from the movie.

It looked similar in size to the castle I saw when I went to meet Ariando’s father, the duke, but this place looked much older and had an old-fashioned atmosphere.

“It is a historically significant place. “It is said that the founding emperor, who suffered from skin disease, often came here to rest and relax.”

“Why did you have to come here?”

“It’s a castle with special water. You too will experience it soon. “Even if you say you like it and want to stay, I can’t take responsibility.”

Shine’s words raise expectations.

“hello!”

I finally stepped inside Shine’s main house.

What was surprising, however, was that the people who welcomed us were not family elders.

“Welcome, lady.”

The people who managed the castle rushed out to welcome Shine’s return.

“What about the elderly?”

“He was away due to territory business.”

“You said you would bring a guest, but you left? “What on earth is going on?”

“Oh, that’s… .”

The servant who hesitated said.

“You were away because of the monster.”

“Huh?! monster?!”

The news the employee told me was completely unexpected.

I completely understood why they had no choice but to leave in a hurry.

“weird. “There were no problems before you came here?”

It’s true that if a monster had appeared, the residents of the territory would have been in an uproar, but we didn’t feel anything strange on the way here.

“There is no problem yet, but we received a report that there is a monster coming towards the territory.”

“So you’re saying it hasn’t happened yet?”

“yes.”

Shine’s eyes become determined.

“where are you? “I have to go right away.”

“Are you okay, miss?”

“If not me, who on earth can handle the situation? “Please tell me quickly before the residents of the territory suffer harm.”

“thank you!”

The user’s expression brightens.

Although I am working safely here, my family must have been living within the estate, so I can’t help but be happy about Shine’s words.

If you are attacked by a monster, your family inside the territory will eventually be in danger.

“Please show me where to stay, uncle.”

“huh? Are you going alone?”

“Honestly, I think it would be a hindrance if I went with you. So I hope you’ll let me do it just this once.”

“… Okay, I got it.”

Shine spoke so seriously that I couldn’t refuse.

If you receive my abilities and fight, you will be comfortable and safe.

But the speed had no choice but to slow down.

“Please wait a minute. “It won’t take long.”

“I guess so. “How strong are you?”

“Hehe!”

There will be no one who has the perfect counter ability to attack air-type monsters as much as Shine.

Even monsters gliding in the sky would not be able to avoid the arrows she fired.
