124. Who do you like best: a saint, an elf princess, or a princess?

next day.

It’s been a while since I logged on to the community.

Currently, I had a satisfied smile on my face. And it was well deserved.

-(Real Maximillian): Breaking news! They say the culprit who caused the commotion yesterday is King Sal! This is information I heard directly from the royal family.

-(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): Really? Was King Sal still in Trier?

-(Mana is my friend): Hmm, King of Sal…

-(Noble): But it was too loud to be said to have been done by King Sal?

-(Real Maximillian): I guess it was because there was a fight with Professor Geis who was trying to stop him.

Everyone knew about the commotion that occurred yesterday. Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred. It was even weirder if you didn’t know.

However, I did not know the detailed story. But it was Maximilian who told me the inside story.

Of course, all the important information was missing.

‘The story of the blood sword and the warrior is completely missing.’

Additionally, there was no mention of the elixir being stolen. All I could see was the story that King Sal had committed the crime.

Actually, this incident was worth it.

Surprisingly, the royal faction, the noble faction, and the demon king’s army were all involved. And it wasn’t a good thing. From their perspective, they might want to ask quietly.

Oh, and Lucas Weisser, who actually had the elixir stolen, also kept silent.

This was because a group of naked women suddenly escaped from his mansion. He was busy trying to sort this out.

‘It’s a good thing you saved me.’

Should I say that I was rewarded for my good deeds?

After all, people had to live nice(?).

Anyway, this is why I had a satisfied face.

Ah, unfortunately, the battle between the blood sword and the warrior did not last long. Anyway, the two of them didn’t even bring up the third awakening from the beginning. They just fought a bit and then broke up.

‘I guess they both know that now is not the time to risk their lives.’

It seems that the two’s skills are quite similar. So it seemed like the two didn’t fight anymore.

Anyway, although there were some regrets, I was quite satisfied.

No, it couldn’t be more satisfying than this.

I took out the elixir from my pocket. At that moment, I saw purple liquid fluttering around.

‘You mean this is the real elixir?’

It was not the fake elixir from the previous elixir commotion, but the real elixir.

I opened the cap of the bottle.

Pong.

After that, I carefully brought the elixir to my mouth.

‘You can drink it right away.’

I was different from Lucas Weiser. The body of the third awakened person was able to sufficiently handle the medicinal effects of the elixir.

Soon the sweet liquid entered my mouth.

gulp.

‘It’s delicious, right?’

I didn’t expect the taste, but it was quite surprising.

Somehow all the liquid went into my stomach.

Then a huge reaction began to appear.

‘Ugh. My stomach is hot.’

At that moment, I felt a huge heat coming from my stomach. And the heat instantly began to spread throughout the body. It was a different reaction than I expected.

‘It’s definitely not an elixir, right?’

For a moment, I thought Lucas Weiser was playing a prank. I felt that much heat in my body. It felt like I had eaten a fireball.

Soon, the temperature rose in an instant. If someone touches my forehead now, they will think I have a serious illness. That much heat radiated from the body.

‘It’s quite painful, isn’t it?’

However, it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t bear it. To be exact, it was not enough to cause great harm to the 3rd awakening person.

However, it seemed like an old man like Lucas Weiser would be dangerous. That’s why he didn’t take the elixir right away while putting on a show.

‘Should I control the heat with magic?’

I was in trouble. But I just left it at that. I just thought it was better to be natural.

And I was right.

Soon the body temperature began to drop. Then, the heat started to escape from my body.

And this feeling was quite good. It felt like refreshment enveloped my entire body.

I am now convinced that this liquid is an elixir. It was an action that could not be seen except with elixir.

I looked at a nearby mirror without realizing it.

And I opened my eyes round.

‘You look younger, don’t you?’

I was 29 years old. And he seemed to be just that age. Even though he was a 3rd awakened person, it was because he went through a lot of hardships.

But that wasn’t the case now.

The image reflected in the mirror right now looked like he was in his early 20s. The skin became surprisingly clear and plump.

‘The elixir is amazing.’

I let out an exclamation. It was not a legendary elixir for nothing.

My entire body was full of vitality, and even my physical age became younger. There was a reason why everyone was trying to save this because their eyes widened.

‘Sweet, but so much has changed.’

I lightly touched the skin with magic. Dots were placed on the skin and wrinkles were created. In part, it made me feel older. I couldn’t help it.

‘Someone might notice that I ingested the elixir.’

I didn’t know. There was a need to prepare in advance.

I looked away from the mirror. This is a clean enough disguise(?).

‘Anyway, should I take a break today?’

It’s been so hard so far. I needed to rest for a day or so today. Of course, I didn’t mean to just roll around and have fun.

‘Let’s have a company dinner after a long time.’

I prepared to call people together.

“Robin, come in.”

-yes!!

At that moment, a sound was heard outside the door.

Squeak.

Immediately, the door opened, and a neatly dressed Robin appeared.

“Did you call me?!”

“Okay.”

Currently, he was serving as my butler and errand boy. Maybe that’s why he lost a lot of weight compared to when he was a farming king.

“It’s been a while since we’re having a company dinner, so get ready.”

“What preparations…?”

“Do it yourself. You know if you can’t do it, right?”

“Hmph! Oh, I understand!”

Robin saluted and quickly left the room. He seemed much more energetic than before. Of course, it looked better this way.

‘As expected, Robin looks better like that.’

I smiled in satisfaction.

It was definitely comfortable to have a servant… no, it was comfortable to have a butler.

***

After a while.

Fortunately, Robin successfully completed preparations for the dinner party.

As a result, the yard of the mansion was bustling with people for the first time in a long time.

I looked at the scene through the window inside the house.

“Heh, princess. Try some of this! It’s really delicious!”

“Hmm, really? If Anna gave it to you, you should enjoy it.”

“Oh! Thank you!”

Anna was also seen happily watching the princess eat meat.

“I… Yulia. How have you been?”

“I had a good time. So, maybe I couldn’t get along?”

“Sorry…”

Pierre, the strongest genius, was also seen talking to Julia, who had been dumped, again.

“Serena! I’ll go first tonight!”

“What do you mean? Did you forget it was your turn?”

I also saw a saint and an elf princess deciding their turn to kiss me.

Of course, there were people who didn’t know why they came.

“Haha!! It’s a bit of a shame there’s no prostitute at a party like this! Would you like me to sing for you?”

“Dubalton. You should control yourself as a woman.”

“Haha! Since ancient times, women with big buttocks are the best!”

“Ugh.”

I saw Archmage Constantine sighing because of Dubalton. To be honest, I didn’t want to call Dubalton. However, when I invited Constantine, he came to the set and ended up leaving.

‘I’ll have to throw it away after a while.’

When no one knows, you just have to deal with it.

Anyway, except for Dubalton, everything went smoothly. There was plenty of food, and everyone had fun. Honestly, I could see this as a successful company dinner.

I glanced at Robin. He became very haggard in a moment.

“Well done.”

“Yes? Okay, thank you!”

He had tears in his eyes at my words. It seemed like he had suffered quite a bit mentally.

Anyway, now it was the main character’s turn to appear.

I opened the door and prepared to go out.

Squeak.

Soon the closed door of the mansion opened.

And then I showed up.

“Wow! You are a saint!”

“N, you are late. Oh, of course, I didn’t mean to wait. I just wanted to see it quickly… Oh, no.”

“Are you here?! Lord Gal!!”

“Haha! Are you here?! My benefactor!”

“Hmm, somehow your face looks younger?”

“Oh, are you here? Jace?”

“Jace! Come here quickly!”

Soon I saw many people welcoming me.

I had never seen anything like this before. Everyone was afraid and often avoided me.

But since when?

People’s attitudes toward me began to change.

A saint and an elf princess approached me.

Anna holding my leg.

The princess bows her head to me with a shy face.

Pierre gives a look of respect.

Dubalton forgets about the woman for a moment and thanks me.

And the feeling wasn’t that bad.

No, honestly it was good.

I felt like the humanity that had disappeared during my time as a mercenary was being restored.

I smiled brightly for the first time in a long time.

Widely.

It’s been quite a while since I smiled this brightly.

“Oh my.”

“Hey…”

“Handsome…”

Everyone made blank faces at my laughter. This was especially true for women.

Of course, I don’t know why Pierre is making that expression.

“As expected, Galju…”

I ignored his gaze. It was a problem if they worshiped me too much.

Anyway, the dinner party took place in a very good atmosphere. The smiles couldn’t leave everyone’s faces.

“Haha! At that time, the prostitute stuck her ass out to me…”

“Tsk, someone please blow away the two steps.”

“Yes! Lord Gal! I will take care of it and come back!”

“So I pulled down my pants and… Wow!!”

The Dubalton problem was also handled by Pierre. Thanks to this, the atmosphere got even better.

I watched people having fun with a happy face. It didn’t seem like a bad idea to hold a company dinner once in a while.

Of course, it would have been great if this atmosphere had been maintained until the end.

“Ah, the mercenary king. I have a question.”

“Hmm? what? Constantine?”

Suddenly, Constantine asked a question out of the blue.

I answered without thinking.

Although he is usually oblivious, he doesn’t ask strange questions in this atmosphere…

“Who do you like best among those three people?”

Constantine pointed his finger at the saint, the elf princess, and the princess.

And at that moment, the noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet. Also, everyone’s eyes turned to me.

I glanced at Constantine. I was the only one who was embarrassed because he suddenly asked me a strange question.

Soon, people with expectant faces appeared.

Everyone was curious about what I would say. Not only were saints, elf princesses, and princesses like this, but everyone was like that. Even Robin was secretly listening.

Of course, there was no way I could answer this question.

‘Have you never heard of Hwang Hee’s story? Black cow, yellow cow… Ah, he’s from Newpan.’

Anyway, there wasn’t much to notice.

I stood up.

After that, he opened his mouth with a calm face.

“Ah, I’m not feeling well all of a sudden. I’ll go in first. Everyone have fun and go in.”

“Huh?”

“Where are you going!”

“Saint!”

I ignored people’s reactions and went inside the house.

thud.

Soon the door closed.

And immediately I heard a sound outside through magic.

“……Hey! Are you that clueless?! What if you suddenly ask me that question?”

An angry elf princess was soon seen.

And it wasn’t just her.

“I’m disappointed. How embarrassed was Jace?”

“How dare you ask such a vulgar question…!!”

The saint and the princess were also angry.

I smiled lightly while looking at that.

Constantine will probably be quite resented by those three.

It was like taking my own small revenge.

‘If you do this, you’ll get noticed. Anyway, I have to go through some trouble this time.’

“I’ll just leave. A party without Galjoo is meaningless…”

“Me too.”

“Phew, I’ll go too.”

“Me too.”

“Where is everyone!”

“I’m going because of you!”

After such a long time, a company dinner ended.

Even though it didn’t end well, it was a successful company dinner.

Of course, I was planning on doing it next time.

Constantine and Dubalton will no longer be called, though.
